As early as 1998, Disney used the animated film Mulan for the first time, investing more than 70 million yuan and earning more than 300 million box office. The character image created in the work, Princess Hua Mulan, belongs to Disney's original work, the copyright of the animated version of Mulan belongs to Disney.
And Mulan, as a traditional Chinese folktale, has no copyright; just like the Danish Andersen fairy tales, the Arabian One Thousand and One Nights, and the German Grimm's Fairy Tales, these have all been published early It was brought to the big screen by Disney, which means anyone can shoot with this theme.
Extended information:
Disney spent huge sums of money to hire many famous Chinese actors for "Mulan", and also filmed scenes in China, and fully respected the author of this work. Part of the performance is based on Chinese elements (there may be some lines that use non-Chinese allusions).
A big challenge in the production of this film was the design and presentation of the imperial city. In the end, the production team was lucky enough to find the Tangcheng Film and Television Base in Xiangyang, Hubei Province in China, but because this is a popular tourist attraction, it also made the filming and schedule adjustment of the film difficult. The story boldly goes in a completely different direction than the cartoon, taking greater risks in altering the source material, and the cinematography is gorgeous and the action scenes are stunning.
