Tun Teja, aberrated, and unlike most previous female roles, is courageous and more self-reliant. She also does not fit in with the expectations of a young Malay girl of the time; despite her natural beauty, she is clumsy, outspoken, and independent rather than graceful, obedient, silent, and demure.

She is a symbol of power for women. She shows that all woman are capable of anything a man can do and they usually do it just as well.

She is a woman who willingly devoted herself for others especially for her family. Her love towards her family is so deep that she willing to do anything for her family, that she rather went to the war to replace her father.

Tun Teja is a kind of woman that speaks her mind and always think what the best is for both sides.

She did not care about what other people say about her instead she has the freedom to act as she pleases so long as she receives approval from others.

Tun Teja is very intelligent. She uses her intelligence to overcome obstacles.

Hi everyone!! Is everyone here?

# data[].attributes.body
Here!

# data[].attributes.body
Here

# data[].attributes.body
here too!

# data[].attributes.body
here!

# data[].attributes.body
Hi guys! Glad everyone can make it today :D So, as you know, today we're going to be opening up a discussion on how we're going to make some changes for our adaptation of Mulan. I'm pretty sure everyone has watched the movie before, right? So what do you guys think about the plot?

# data[].attributes.body
You mean the original plot of mulan, right?

# data[].attributes.body
Yes! Mulan is a classic that almost every Asian girl loved. So its better that we thoroughly learn the original plot so that we can retain that sense of classical element that everyone appreciates :D

# data[].attributes.body
Yes ive watched it! I think the plot is very good. When i watched it as a kid, it really captured my attention throughout the whole movie. Definitely gave a powerful message towards being brave and standing up for what you believe in. Really love the vibe of women empowerment 🙈

# data[].attributes.body
of course i've watched it but thanks to my approximately 1TB brain storage, i barely remembered it hahaha.. the last time i've watched it i think was during primary 🤣🤣

# data[].attributes.body
what i like about mulan is the movie is straightforward. everyone can understand what they are trying to tell the audiences. the movie brings to light to the inferior treatment of women, and a women's worth being defined by their beauty, etiquette, and marriage.

# data[].attributes.body
That's true!

# data[].attributes.body
for me, i feel sad at how mulan struggles to become both man and woman in her families. she was the only hope and luck to her family where she is required to get married but at the same time she also needs to sacrifice herself in order to replace her father responsibilities as the only man in the family.

# data[].attributes.body
yes, i watched it too! i never imagined that  a girl would save the whole China!

# data[].attributes.body
Can we make it like a traditional classic?

# data[].attributes.body
i think it will be a great idea u know hehehe

# data[].attributes.body
Yes! I actually thought the same. What if we preserve a part of the storyline but instead of ancient China, we make it Kesultanan Melayu era? That would be so cool!

# data[].attributes.body
ehemmm seems like we're going to remember back the history we've learned during high school hahahaha

# data[].attributes.body
wow! that would be great. since we live in Malaysia, we should do our own history story hehe

# data[].attributes.body
Yes but there’s a twist! I actually have this in mind, like Mulan is a daughter to a Bendahara maybe, and her father is indebted to the Sultan. In return of his debt, the Sultan wants Mulan's hand in marriage instead! But she refused, strongly rejecting the idea. Furious and in spite, the Sultan then sent out an order that her Father is to join the army, despite knowing that he is severely ill. He was basically sending him to his death! But Mulan intervened and took her father's place, disguising as a man and going in his stead! It's like the original but make it Malay hahaha

# data[].attributes.body
wow! now that i like it better in Malay version! so how's the climax take part? when Mulan save the whole china? i'm curious

# data[].attributes.body
Well I love Mulan so yes it's going to be similar to the original! She's going to strive in the army and save the nation (maybe we can put Melaka?) BUT that's not the end yet 😏 I was thinking, what if we make it a sad ending? Instead of being rewarded for her heroic acts, they were punished instead! Like imagine, when Mulan saved Melaka, the identity was exposed, and the Sultan (who holds grudge against her father) accused her 'disguise' as an act of treason, and her family was to be punished. They were stripped of their title, and her father was executed. What do you think?

# data[].attributes.body
uhh, that would be interesting! honestly hehe so how about the character? im so curious what mulan gonna be in malay version..

# data[].attributes.body
Right hahahaha we need a new name for her

# data[].attributes.body
How about Tun Teja as Mulan?

# data[].attributes.body
Yes! That's a great idea, Brenda! I think she fits the part so well I mean Tun Teja is a legend right? and in Kesultanan Melayu too

https://www.freemalaysiatoday.com/category/leisure/2021/03/07/tun-teja-mausoleum-a-story-of-love-betrayal-and-war/

# data[].attributes.body
Tun Teja.. mm.. why do u choose her? has she got any similarity with mulan?

# data[].attributes.body
i think its because tun teja has similar story with mulan, where mulan were forced to get married although it is against her will (?)

# data[].attributes.body
well that's going to be a new element in our story! Mulan wasn't forced to be married though hahaha Plus, seems like Tun Teja's story was also of love, betrayal and war.

# data[].attributes.body
Yes yes and i think she could have some traits such as Mulan as she is brave enough to fight through anything. Really has character for the main role

# data[].attributes.body
Okay! Then I have nothing against that. Plus, her name is kinda nice too!

# data[].attributes.body
ohh i see. ok then, lets have Tun Teja as Mulan!🤩

# data[].attributes.body
then how abt the other character? especially her magical protector (mushu) ✨

# data[].attributes.body
Hmmm well I've never heard of dragons in out mythical legends thoughh 🤔🤔 maybe we can make him human? Or some other creature? Like a baby deer! you knowww sang kancil and all hahahahah

# data[].attributes.body
ah, i think he as human much better.. more logical😝

# data[].attributes.body
That's a great idea too! ✨ and what if we make Mushu a girl? 👀

# data[].attributes.body
make them like a hidden bodyguard maybe

# data[].attributes.body
That'll be so cute! She can be like her loyal servant or something

# data[].attributes.body
I was thinking that since mushu and cricket are like a dynamic duo, they should be like Tun Teja’s assistants as humans. As they called it in olden days, “dayang dayang” hahaha i was thinking Dang Anum and Dang Ratna?

https://www.thepatriots.asia/srikandi-srikandi-dalam-sejarah-legenda-dan-mitos-bangsa-melayu/

# data[].attributes.body
Wow 🤩 I forgot we used to have Dayangs then. That's a great idea! Though cricket as a girl must be so cuteee and clumsy hahahah I agree though, totally! ✨😁

# data[].attributes.body
haha yeahh! me too agree

# data[].attributes.body
Then, let's go with that guys! What about the other characters? Like General Sheng? Maybe we should find some Hulubalang to be him

# data[].attributes.body
What about Hang Nadim? hehe sounds like a handsome name and has a very heroic vibe to his name. Could lead an army even!

# data[].attributes.body
Omg yes! I know about him! They have a story together!
https://eresources.nlb.gov.sg/printheritage/detail/2406befb-afd8-4903-898d-fe4fe67d3ceb.aspx

# data[].attributes.body
that's giving me Sheng's vibe!😍

# data[].attributes.body
I mean I was thinking about Hang Tuah, but now that you mentioned I feel like that would be too mainstream 😂

# data[].attributes.body
oh yeah that would be a perfect match for tun teja✨

# data[].attributes.body
Hang Nadim's a great name! I think he'll fit great!

# data[].attributes.body
Oh yeah not forgetting Tun Teja’s father as Fa Zhou! Bendahara Seri Amar! Do u guys agree?

# data[].attributes.body
yes, agree! 🙆‍♀️

# data[].attributes.body
Agree!✨ It's her real father right? I was searching about it just now

# data[].attributes.body
that's a good name! agree 💯

# data[].attributes.body
Now there's only the Emperor and the Huns left. Who do you guess think would fit that role?

# data[].attributes.body
if im not mistaken kesultanan siam was one of melaka enemies back then right? 👀

# data[].attributes.body
Really?? I'm bad at history I wouldn't know hahahaha But I agree though!! what if we put Siam then? ✨👀 They are a real powerful kingdom back then

# data[].attributes.body
Yeah siam as the huns sounds good! Sultan Mahmud Shah as The Emperor? Seems fitting hahaha

# data[].attributes.body
Yess!! Hang Nadim was actually present during Sultan Mahmud Shah's reign!

# data[].attributes.body
Hahaha omg! Okay thats good!

# data[].attributes.body
is it??? welp i just knew 🤣

# data[].attributes.body
I also just knew today hahahahaha
Okayy! Now we're done with the characters. What about the setting? Any idea guys?

# data[].attributes.body
so  i suggest the setting to be during Kesultanan Melayu Melaka, Kesultanan Melayu Pahang and siam era since this three are related with each other (?)

# data[].attributes.body
Yeah, that's relevant. I mean, Tun Teja IS a daughter of Bedahara Pahang

# data[].attributes.body
because melaka and siam seems like they dont have good relationships with each other

# data[].attributes.body
Yeah, and Hang Nadim was from Melaka too! So I think that's good! and since we have Sultan Mahmud Shah, the time frame could be during his reign! If I'm not mistaken, I think it was between 1488-1511
https://www.britannica.com/biography/Mahmud-Shah

# data[].attributes.body
yeappp

# data[].attributes.body
Okay!! So if everyone agree, then the settings are settled for now!

# data[].attributes.body
ok lets proceed. now that we got the characters, plot and settings.. can someone summarize this up into a proper theme?

# data[].attributes.body
Not forgetting point of view too!

# data[].attributes.body
so speaking about point of view, i think most of the time, we will use the third person.

# data[].attributes.body
Yeah I was thinking that too!

# data[].attributes.body
the narrator will tell the story based on his point of view and so on. how do u guys think? should we add another type of pov? from mulan's pov?

# data[].attributes.body
I think that'll be interesting too. I mean, we could change it for certain parts, like make her have a monologue like that! ✨

# data[].attributes.body
ah, i see🤩

# data[].attributes.body
i agree to have mulan pov.. really want to know what she kept by herself. and yes i agree for her to have some monologue

# data[].attributes.body
Then lets do both!

# data[].attributes.body
let's 😙🙌🏻

# data[].attributes.body
Okayy that's settled now for the themes!

# data[].attributes.body
then abt the theme..
since Tun Teja willing to risk her life in danger for her father (not physically capable to join the army) and saving Melaka from Siam, i think the theme should be "family love" and "heroic"? .. do you guys agree?

# data[].attributes.body
i don't think i understand about the heroic part. u mind to share a few reasons?

# data[].attributes.body
I think its more based on the original Mulan! She saved China. And we took that into our adaptation, where Tun Teja saved Melaka 😙✨

# data[].attributes.body
Okay it makes sense now hahaha

# data[].attributes.body
Don't you guys think so too? I kinda agree with Jova thoughh

# data[].attributes.body
couldnt agree more 😁 let's stick to the original theme of the classic mulan story

# data[].attributes.body
oh yeah.. now that i think it's a great idea that we combine the two themes together!😍🤩

# data[].attributes.body
Yes!! Then it's settled FINALLY ✨✨✨ Okay I'm just going to recap what we've discuss

# data[].attributes.body
So in conclusion, we decide on staying close to the original plot, but we made Mulan a malay noble called Tun Teja, who is a daughter of Bendahara Seri Amar, who was indebted to Sultan Mahmud Shah of Melaka. And instead of being called out to war by the system, in our plans, we made it because of the Sultan's fury and grudge towards the Bendahara. So, Tun Teja intervened. This is where we decided to resume the original plot. Tun Teja, just like Mulan, went in her father's stead, disguised as a man, and joined the Melaka hulubalangs. And just like Mulan, she encountered conflicts as well as a love interest in the form of Hang Nadim, who eventually would helped her in saving Melaka from the threats of Siam. The ending though, instead of being rewarded, the vengeful Sultan accused her infiltration into the army as a form of treason, and had her family stripped of their title. Her father was then executed. The settings would be between 1488-1511 ( the reign of Sultan Mahmud) and the place is Pahang and Melaka. The POV is both third person and Tun Teja herself. And the Themes are heroic and family love.

The Malay Adaptation of Mulan

# data[].attributes.body
A noble caught up in family feud and debts left by the past generation

His family was indebted to Sultan Mahmud Shah.

A loving father who cannot help but worry about Tun Teja, but trusts her regardless

# data[].attributes.body
The Sultan was well known as the most ruthless person. He decided to punish people who get on his nerves without justice.

A brave and fearless man.

Even with the deal of a marriage that is loveless at first, he still fell in love with Tun Teja for her beauty

Although he is ruthless, the land that is with his reign flourish and the people prosper.
