Chapter 743

~7 min read 1,258 words

An arrow was thrown down from above, landing on the grass in front of him.

Looking up, he saw Mulan sitting at the top of the wooden pole, smiling at him.

As if to say, "Look, I did it." *A man! Act as fast as the rushing river, a man! Destructive as the ruthless storm, a man! Full of blood like wildfire pressing on the border, elusive as a nightmare in the dark night!!! * Accompanied by Brother Cheng's final verse.

The atmosphere was rendered to the extreme! "Oh oh oh oh!!!"

At this moment, the recruits who had looked down on Mulan since the first day they reported to the camp cheered and applauded. "Clap~ clap~ clap!"

And in the screening hall of the premiere, thunderous applause also rang out.

Everyone was cheering and applauding for the Mulan version of Zhao Jinmai.

22 In the subsequent training, Mulan also began to accumulate strength.

Whether it was weighted long-distance running or hand-to-hand combat, she won with skill.

Even Li Shang and the trio of best friends who had looked down on her before now looked at her with new eyes.

And during this period, the audience's applause never stopped!

That's right, this was the Mulan they wanted to see.

Strength not as good as men?

So what?

Can't you win with wisdom?

Why must you use your weaknesses to fight others' strengths?

"This is the true big-heroine movie."

With only half the movie shown, many professional producers and directors on the scene couldn't help but sigh in their hearts.

In this era of feminism, or rather, the awakening of feminism.

"Big-heroine themes" had become a wealth code.

No matter what the show was, as long as the heroine's scenes accounted for a large proportion.

The production team and the crew would emphasize during promotion: "This is a big-heroine work of ours."

However, the truth was often hanging a sheep's head to sell dog meat.

Once the audience, mainly female, was fooled into watching, they would find out.

What kind of damn big-heroine movie is this?

Isn't it still relying on men?

It's just a Mary Sue story wrapped in a skin.

Once they encounter difficulties, the male lead, second lead, and third lead come to save her, as if the whole world revolves around the heroine.

Over the years, there had been too many such big-heroine works that hung a sheep's head to sell dog meat.

Previously, Liu Shishi's *Golden Years*, Liu Shishi's *A Dream of Splendor*, *Mulan*, as well as Empress Sun's *Legend of Mi Yue* from two years ago... all crashed.

Talking about a big heroine, but in reality, at critical moments, they all relied on men for help, or on cheats.

Uh, I'm talking about that previous *Mulan*.

Even giving you Qi.

Why didn't you just go for Chakra or Spiritual Pressure?

Or at least give you a Rubber Fruit, how about that?

Oh no, now it's the Nika Fruit.

However, Xu Feng's *Mulan*.

Let the audience, and even professionals, see what is called a "big heroine."

She really doesn't rely on men, and she doesn't cheat.

She relies on wisdom! She relies on hard work! It's that simple!

However, such a simple thing, 99.9% of directors and crews in the market now couldn't film it.

Halfway through the movie.

The recruit camp, having completed their training, finally stepped onto the battlefield.

The closer they got to the capital.

The more the cruelty of war was reflected; villages reduced to ruins by the Xiongnu, and corpses littering the field, left the protagonist group, who had originally been in a celebratory mood and thinking about going home to marry a wife after the war, speechless.

Li Shang found his father's helmet on the battlefield littered with corpses.

And Mulan found a tattered cloth doll in a village that had been burned to the ground.

That was the doll she had snatched back from two bullying boys for a little girl when she passed through this village on her way to the camp.

By the way, that little girl was played by Wang Shengdi, just one shot.

And now this doll appeared here, which meant that little girl had also been...

Seeing this, the audience couldn't laugh anymore.

They originally thought this was a family-friendly movie, but now...

A sad atmosphere permeated.

Li Shang led the recruit camp to take a shortcut through the snowy mountains to the capital; they had to reach the imperial city before the Xiongnu to protect the Emperor.

However, they didn't expect the Xiongnu to have long anticipated Li Shang would do this.

They set an ambush in the snowy mountains outside the capital, and the Xiongnu army, dozens or even hundreds of times larger than the recruit camp, swarmed down from the top of the snowy mountain.

"My god, we're dead!"

The trio of best friends shouted in despair.

"If we die, we must die gloriously!"

Li Shang drew his sword and shouted: "Counterattack! Aim the cannon at the Chanyu!"

Once the order was given, Yao took out the cannon and aimed it at the Chanyu, who was leading the Xiongnu army charging toward them.

But at the critical moment, Mulan noticed the precarious snowy mountain peak above the Xiongnu army through the reflection in her sword.

The next second, Mulan suddenly grabbed a cannon and charged straight at the Chanyu.

"Hua Ping, what are you doing? Come back!"

Li Shang and the others shouted in panic.

At the very last moment before the Chanyu's warhorse was about to trample her into meat paste.

Mulan fired the cannon, and the shell grazed over the Chanyu's head.

"What are you doing? You can't even hit it from this close?!"

The Mushu dragon complained wildly.

BOOM!!!

However, the next second, the cannon exploded at the top of the snowy mountain, triggering a white avalanche tsunami, instantly swallowing the Xiongnu army.

Including the Chanyu!

At the last moment of the entire army being wiped out, Mulan once again saved everyone with her own brain.

"Cheer for Hua Ping!"

"Ping! You are our hero!"

"We owe you our lives!"

At this moment, Mulan became a hero!

However, happy times were so short.

Because she was injured in the battle just now, Mulan's identity as a female soldier was discovered under the treatment of the military doctor.

"General! This is a crime of deceiving the Emperor!"

The Prime Minister shouted angrily and demanded that Li Shang punish her according to the law, beheading Mulan to show military law.

The surrounding recruits looked on in disbelief and couldn't bear it.

In the tense atmosphere, Li Shang drew his sword and walked toward Mulan, then threw the sword down, saying painfully: "I owe you a life, now we're even."

After speaking, he led the recruit camp away and continued to the capital.

The atmosphere, which had just eased a little, became oppressive again.

"Perhaps, I didn't do it for my father, just for myself,"

"I just wanted to prove my ability," "So that whenever I look in the mirror, I feel I can face myself..."

Mulan, abandoned by the army, muttered to herself while holding her father's helmet.

The Mushu dragon also said with a look of shame: "Actually, we are very similar, your ancestors didn't send me to find you at all, I'm also a fake... but, you fought to save others, while I only thought about using you." The man and the dragon looked at each other and smiled.

But what's the use of saying this now?
