From Benin to the Big Screen: Mulan's Journey in China's 'Formed Police Unit'
It all started with a dream 🎬✨. When Alazi Soumaila Rawdoth, better known by her Chinese name, Mulan, was studying business in Chongqing, she never imagined she'd co-star alongside China's top performers in a major film release! Talk about plot twists! 😲
Starring heartthrobs Huang Jingyu and Wang Yibo, and directed by the legendary Hong Kong director and choreographer Lee Tat-Chiu, 'Formed Police Unit' hit the screens during China's Labor Day holiday. And guess what? Our girl Mulan is right there, shining bright! 🌟
By Thursday afternoon, 'Formed Police Unit' was smashing it at the box office, ranking third in China according to Maoyan, a tracking website. It raked in over 436 million yuan (around US$60 million) in just nine days! 🤑🎥
Mulan plays the role of Selina's mother, a resilient woman who faces unimaginable tragedy when she loses her husband, brother, and son during an attack on her village. Set in a West African country, the film follows Chinese peacekeeping officers who help her character and the surviving family travel to court to testify against the perpetrators. It's intense! 😱💪
\"She's the most important witness to the killing of the people in the village… My character was there, she saw everything that happened… The Chinese peacekeepers want to take her to court in another village to testify,\" Mulan shared. 🎤🕊️
Her powerful performance is not just a win for her, but also a bridge connecting cultures across continents. We're totally here for it! 🌍❤️
From a student in Chongqing to a rising star on the big screen, Mulan's journey is an inspiration to all dreamers out there. So keep dreaming big, porque los sueños se hacen realidad! 🌠✨
