Too many people are chasing too few jobs nowadays. Caro captioned the video with details on the background story of Liu’s audition, such as how Liu completed the audition with no sleep after the flight from Beijing to the US.

The video made its way to Chinese microblogging platform Weibo, where it is currently going viral under the hashtag “Liu Yifei’s Mulan audition video” (#刘亦菲试镜花木兰视频#) at 460 million views. “Her English is really good, as if it’s her native tongue,” commented one user. “I’m looking forward to her interpretation of Hua Mulan.” Another added, “Wow, she looks great even with dark circles and no sleep! No makeup needed.”A day earlier, Caro released another video on her Instagram featuring other famous Chinese actresses who auditioned for the role. Recognizable faces such as Pacific Rim Uprising star Lan Yingying（蓝盈莹）, singer and actress Leah Dou（窦靖童）, and Detective Chinatown actress Yuxian Shang（尚语贤） all appear in the video, introducing themselves to the camera.Accompanying the video, Caro wrote, “I hope everyone who tried out for Mulan knows that their passion is woven into the fabric of our movie, and that all played a part in helping me understand and appreciate how beloved and important Mulan is to so many.”Although Mulan was scheduled to have its world premiere in Los Angeles on March 9, the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic forced Disney to delay the film’s theatrical release.

Will you speak out?""I have no worry on my mind,Nor have I grief of any kind.I read the battle roll last night;The Khan has ordered men to fight.The roll was written in twelve books;My father's name was in twelve nooks.My father has no grown-up son,For elder brother I have none.I'll get a horse of hardy raceAnd serve in my father's place."She buys a steed at eastern fair,A whip and saddle here and there.She buys a bridle at the southAnd metal bit for the horse's mouth.At dawn she leaves her parents by the city wall;At dusk she reaches Yellow River shore.All night she listens for old folk's familiar call,But only hears the Yellow River's roar.At dawn she leaves the Yellow River shore;To mountains Black she goes her way.At night she hears old folk's familiar voice no more,But only on north mountains Tartar horses neighs.For miles and miles the army march alongAnd cross the mountain barriers as in flight.The northern wind has chilled the watchman's gong,Their coat of mail glistens in wintry light.In ten years they've lost many captains strong,But battle-hardened warriors come back in delight.Back they have their audience with the Khan in the hall,Honors and gifts are lavished on warriors all.The Khan asks her what she wants as a grace."A camel fleet to carry me to my native place."Hearing that she has come,Her parents hurry to meet her at city gate.Her sister rouges her face at home,Her younger brother kills pig and sheep to celebrate.She opens the doors east and westAnd sits on her bed for a rest.She doffs her garb wore under fireAnd wears again female attire.Before the window she arranges her hairAnd in the mirror sees her image fair.Then she comes out to see her former mate,Who stares at her in amazement great:"We have marched together for twelve years,We did not know there was a lass' mid our compeers!""Both buck and doe have lilting gaitAnd both their eyelids palpitate.When side by side two rabbits go,Who can tell the buck from the doe?"
