Chinese actress Liu Yifei, also known as Crystal Liu, has been included in a list of 25 young talents likely heading for stardom on both the big and the small screen, according to "Hollywood Reporter".

Crystal Liu is best known for her role in Disney's live-action adaptation of the classic Chinese tale of Mulan. When she got the call from her manager about the role in the Disney production, she was in the middle of a four-month hiatus.

"Mulan" is Liu's first major Hollywood production. She describes working on the film as "three tough things going together — jet lag, auditioning, and then working out."
