The release date is tentatively set for the Spring Festival in 2010. This is a modern version of The Little Mermaid. If Cinderella is the favorite of ordinary girls, then The Little Mermaid is the epitome of steadfast love. Ordinary lives always yearn for extraordinary stories. The desire to risk life and death is what men crave, while chivalry in the martial world is the fairy tale for adults. Miracles and dreams have always been the persistent pursuits of most people. The backdrop of this film is the ocean: some say that love is the surprise of life, life is the surprise of land, and land is the surprise of the ocean. Therefore, love comes from the ocean and will return to the ocean. Men and women falling in love might just be an accident. This accident could be a dream of this life or a fate from a past life. Cornflower: Centuries ago, during a civil strife, German Queen Louise escaped the court with her son. When their carriage broke down, they had to get off. The fields were full of blue cornflowers, and Louise wove a crown of flowers and placed it on the head of nine-year-old William. Later, William became the first emperor to unify Germany. To honor his mother, he declared the cornflower the national flower of Germany. In this nearly blue story, the male lead, Nie Huachen, starts as a cool teenager, then becomes a carefree young man, and later reveals his strong character with his signature smile. He is the heir to a hotel. However, he is tired of the modern business competition model, fed up with hotel management, yearns for freedom, and is passionate about diving. In his youth, a maritime accident took his mother’s life, and he saved a pair of sisters. They became inseparable family. The older sister (Sang Yun) is beautiful and capable, helping the Nie family manage the hotel’s daily operations. This modern woman embodies the virtues of traditional women—competent yet unassuming, wise yet resilient. She and Nie Huachen are deeply in love, and they have adopted a little girl, Bo Bo, who is an orphan from an earthquake. The younger sister (Sang Duo) has musical talent; she studies the cello at a music academy and successfully qualifies to study abroad. In her carefree growth, she unknowingly falls in love with Nie Huachen. When she learns that her sister is going to marry Nie Huachen, she cannot accept it, ultimately revealing her true feelings and running away from home. The invisible emotional entanglements put the three of them in a dilemma. At this time, a financial storm arises, and the South China Sea Tianyu Hotel falls into crisis. Vilia Hotel intends to acquire the Nie family's assets. William returns from studying abroad to assist his mother Sophia's acquisition plan. He encounters the beautiful girl Sang Duo and falls in love at first sight, becoming Nie Huachen's biggest rival. Nie Huachen’s father faces difficulties on both ends and collapses during a face-to-face negotiation with William; he suffers a stroke. Sang Yun conceals her terminal illness and helps Nie Huachen strive to avert the hotel from bankruptcy. After learning the truth, Sang Duo regrets her actions; she facilitates her sister's wedding while requesting Sophia to give the South China Sea Tianyu Hotel a chance. When Nie Huachen buries his beloved Sang Yun at sea, Sang Duo and William go to Germany. One year later, the South China Sea Tianyu Hotel overcomes the crisis. Nie Huachen evolves into a steady and mature man. Through his hard work, he not only preserves the hotel and all its staff but also maintains his dignity and confidence as a man. In the blue bay, the beautiful Sang Duo passionately plays the cello on stage. The kind and magnanimous William gives her the chance to choose happiness. Thus, she faces the crowd, quietly waiting for Nie Huachen's arrival.
