Zhao Wei, who played the title role of Hua Mulan, said "Mulan" was her most toilful film ever. "I got up at 6:30 every morning, and had either fighting scenes or crying scenes for all day. It was a big challange," the actress said. However, Zhao Wei thought she's lucky to get such a role. She said she admires the courage of Mulan. "The role requires a great confidence. I feel myself getting more optimistic and confident." Actor Chen Kun portrays a general who fell in love with Mulan and assisted her with her fighting career. "I found that behind a great woman there is also a great man," he said. A trailer was projected at the press conference, in which Zhao Wei shows "explosive acting," according to a report of sina.com. Yu Dong, president of the publisher Poly-Bona Film, told the web portal that they have made deals with buyers from German, Turkey and Middle East, while publishing in France and English-speaking countries are still undergoing negotiation. |
