Culture and history inspire Hollywood
Print Edition
The sites of historical interest in China are not only tourist spots but also a rich trove of stories for global filmmakers, Stephanie Xu, president of US-Asia Innovation Gateway, said on Sunday.
A Silicon Valley-based group is working with the director and writer of the 1998 animated film Mulan and other Hollywood filmmakers to produce a documentary film for Huangpi District in Wuhan, the birthplace of the Chinese folklore heroine Mulan, in central China.
The group is trying to connect Chinese historical and cultural cities with Hollywood and Bollywood filmmakers to promote Chinese culture and facilitate China-themed film and television projects.
They are also planning a celebration event in Wuhan for the 20th anniversary of the film as a result of a three-day visit by the veteran filmmakers to the city last month, said Xu. Her group is committed to advancing economic and cultural opportunities between the United States and Asia.
During the visit, seven Hollywood filmmakers, including the screenwriter and director of Mulan, met with local scholars and experts, who gave the filmmakers their books on Mulan as a gift.
Stories like Mulan appeal to an international audience even today, said Raymond Singer, Mulan’s screenwriter.
