Liu Shishi vowed not to reveal the news.

Because "Disney still needs to let the news ferment for a while to create excitement for the movie."

Disney originally wanted to use global casting to build momentum for "Mulan," but this plan was rejected by Cheng Yu'an and Liu Yifei.

In 2008, they played such a trick with Warner on "Inception". At that time, the two were scolded by the industry, saying that since Cheng Yu'an had already cast Liu Yifei, he still wanted to promote the casting of all Asian actresses.

If "Mulan" is played like this, it will be too easy for the two of them to get into trouble.

Liu Yifei has deliberately kept a distance from Disney during this period. The outside world has not found any news that Liu Yifei has contacted Disney, or that Liu Yifei intends to run for "Mulan".

It's as if Liu Yifei's "fitness training" during this period has nothing to do with "Mulan".

Entering June, "Wonder Woman" appears in front of domestic audiences with Gal Gadot and her beautiful body full of temptation.

The quality of the movie is above average, but Gal Gadot's beauty and performance added a lot to the whole movie.

"A movie that shows all directions, no blind spots, and slow-motion "Gal Gadot is so beautiful!"

"Is it true that the first few DC movies failed miserably, so a little progress makes everyone ecstatic? The story is actually very average. Of course, Gadot is so beautiful."

Liu Yifei really wanted to watch this heroine movie and find similarities with Mulan, but she was too busy and tired.

Daily movement training tortured her to death.

"I've reduced it for you," Cheng Yu'an said while looking at the drawing. "In actual combat, an elite cavalry like Hua Mulan needs to carry two main weapons: a horse spear and a riding bow; two secondary weapons.

Weapons: horizontal sword and foot bow; and a heavy weapon for foot combat, usually a blunt weapon such as a six-leaf hammer or a pumpkin hammer. Now I will reduce it to one sword, one bow and one spear, so you can have fun secretly."

According to the records in "Mulan Ci", Hua Mulan should have been born in a family of military generals, because ordinary families could never afford to raise a cavalryman.

If props were prepared for the crew according to the historical standards of northern cavalry in the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, one person and one horse would have to carry at least 100 kilograms, not including the armor of the war horses.

To join the army, children from a family of generals like Hua Mulan need to prepare their own weapons, horses and armor.

Cheng Yu'an smiled and said: "There are still difficulties to come. Tomorrow the martial arts coach will join the team. I will try each of the swords, spears, bows, and swords. Practice slowly."

Seeing Liu Yifei's dejected expression, Cheng Yu'an added: "It's okay if you don't want to practice. Anyway, the actor hasn't been officially announced yet. I'll choose another one. There are many people who want to play."

Liu Yifei rolled her eyes at him: "I hate you." Then walked away.

My daughter was sitting on the floor playing, and she followed the same example: "I hate you."

"It doesn't matter if you hate me, I like you." Cheng Yu'an said to Liu Yifei's back, "Practice hard, I'll have to check it out in a few days."

He said and pulled his daughter over: "Little gadget, you still hate me, why do you hate me?"

On the 8th, the Magic City Film Festival officially held a press conference to announce this year's shortlist for each unit as well as some of the actors and crew participating in the film festival.

At the meeting, the organizing committee highly affirmed this year’s film solicitation work.

"After selection, more than 500 films will be screened in 45 professional theaters covering 16 districts in the city, with about 1,500 screenings. The general public can share the excitement of the film festival at their doorsteps."

At the same time, it also highly praised the quality of this year’s shortlisted films.

"Realistic themes play the leading role, which shows that we are paying more and more attention to life and facing reality head-on."

The media noticed that among the 14 films shortlisted for the Golden Goblet Award in the main competition unit, domestic films accounted for 4, which is also more than in previous years.

"This shows that the creation of art-themed films in our country is on the rise."

The opening film was chosen to be "The Beacon of Fire"!

Yes, it's that "Chinese Widow".

The original heroine of the film The Original Spacetime was Yu Nan, and Yu Nan even attended the press conference. But later, for some unknown reason, the young lady became the heroine, and the plot was changed.

Today is different from the past. The young lady will no longer compete for the film "Feng Huo Fang Fei", and "The Little Princess" has also been shortlisted for the main competition.

Speaking of which, this is the first time Liu Yifei has officially appeared on the stage of the International Class A Film Festival as the heroine of a shortlisted film.

In previous years, she participated in the three majors, either as a family member of Cheng Yuan or at the invitation of the brand. It would be fake if the strong Liu Yifei had no idea in her heart.

After all, after being told for so many years that "you have to go to the red carpet every year if your work is not shortlisted", no one feels happy.

As soon as the shortlist was announced, Liu Yifei's training became even harder. Before, she couldn't eat because she was exhausted from training, but now she can do more than a bowl in one meal.

There was even time to frantically borrow dresses from brands.

Cheng Yu'an has been in Qingdao these days. Firstly, he came to visit the company. Several of the company's dramas are in production here. Secondly, he came to see the green screen studio in person.

Although "Mulan" is a relatively realistic historical action film, many scenes still require the use of green screen special effects, such as the avalanche scene.

At present, when it comes to digital production and virtual shooting, Oriental Film ranks first. For other real-location shootings, established film and television bases such as Hengdian, Xiangshan, and Huairou are even stronger.

Tiangong Yicai has only one office in Hengdian, and has opened a production center directly in the Oriental Movie Capital.

Hengdian Group is crazy about inviting Cheng Yuan over for filming, but in terms of digital production, Hengdian is really no match for Qingdao.

"Mulan" and "Painted Skin 4", which is also a masterpiece of special effects and will be launched at the end of the year, will be filmed in the Oriental Film Capital.

The Wanping studio built jointly by Yuanyuan and Wanda is not comparable to Hengdian.

Cheng Yu'an led people in the studio to check the progress of the construction, and communicated with the special effects and art departments about the setting plan.

"If we want to shoot Mulan riding a horse in an avalanche, the technical difficulty lies in the horse. We worked with Sony Imagery to develop a hair grooming tool to do it. The modeling of the horse's muscles and bones is almost completed."

The special effects engineer took out the sample and showed it to Cheng Yu'an. It didn't look like it was going to work like this, and it still had to look at the effects on the set.

"Mulan" has been secretly prepared since it signed a contract with Disney last year. During the filming, the real-time rendering system introduced by Tiangong Yicai will be used. Sufficient preparatory preparation and advanced rendering system will surely greatly shorten the post-production time.

"Boss, are we really not considering introducing that LED curtain wall system?" The people at Tiangong Yicai have been coveting this system. As soon as this system came out, they wanted to persuade Cheng Yu'an to buy it for them.

Cheng Yu'an smiled and said: "You have already taken care of your own profits and losses. Just buy it if you want. Ask me why."

"Isn't this just a matter of settling the accounts and discovering that this year's financial report will not look good after buying it?"

"You are afraid that the financial report will not look good, so you want to take money from me?" Cheng Yu'an was angry and funny, "I have no money, so you want to make money yourself."

This system is indeed advanced, but its application scope is relatively narrow. Green screen keying is now the most mature, and many film crews at home and abroad cannot use it, and they cannot afford this system - it is too expensive!

The heavenly workmanship has no other use than eating ashes.
