They tried to market Mulan is Wuxia movie that had actors from Wuxia films that come to find out wasn't a Wuxia movie at all.
The Chinese audience doesn't need a fake Wuxia film when they get at least a dozen real ones every year.
Ironically if Disney had made a whitewashed version of Mulan, the Chinese Audience would have bought into that and gotten all happy for a new J. Law film or whatever.
But they tried to be fake authentic and reaction they got instead was "This is boring and you got the history wrong."
They were dozens of Asian qwire work Directors they could have gone with not the least of which was John Woo and this failure could have been avoided.
But everything about this movie is tainted so I'm not sad it failed.
