because most actors/actresses in China, if not all,  are selected very young for the academy which includes singing, dance and kungfu in the curriculum, and are trained for the profession

Well, they do lots of singing and dancing in schools, and it becomes obvious pretty quickly who has talent.  Getting into the film academies requires passing tests and exams.  With the one child per family policy, parents devote much of their time and resources on cultivating their kids' talents and hedging their bets. A lot of pressure on kids, for sure.

Oh, I heard that Zi Zi Zhang is playing the role of Mulan... Bleh!  Don't like ZiZi Zhang (if that is how you spell her name)
 

Zhang Ziyi is incredibly gifted and focussed.  Her physical dexterity is unparalleled.  That said, I don't see her as Wonder Woman.  Wonder woman should be curvy.

I don't see her in WW as well.  I was talking about her in Mulan.

Ahhh. I'm not sure I see her in Mulan either.  I think Mulan should be warm and perky, with a tough-ass side. Zhang Ziyi is talented, athletic, tough, but not warm and perky.  She'd be better as an intimidating ice-queen.  The animated version of Mulan's pretty American, and Chinese reaction to it was largely one of baffled amusement (from what I witnessed).  The dragon couldn't have been more American.

I agree with you AF.  I don't see her in Mulan because she doesn't look like a soft type.  I personally don't like her much because of her attitude.  There's something about her that I wouldn't trust her as a friend.
