Atlantis Sanya hosted a press conference to announce the nationwide search for the lead actress of Love at Atlantis. The film is a collaboration between Shangyou Bazaar Co., Ltd. and Huadi Film Co., Ltd. Love at Atlantis will mark the rise of Sanya’s own film industry to international prominence. It is directed by Zhang Jinghong and written by Ma Hongtao, while the script is written by Ma Honglu and the film will premier in Sanya by yearend.

电影《海岛恋人之凤求凰》今日在三亚•亚特兰蒂斯举办新闻发布会，宣布将在全国范围内寻找海岛爱情系列电影女主角。该系列电影是由海南尚游芭莎文化传媒有限公司和深圳花邸影业联合投资出品，这将是海南建省以来第一部由本省公司独立投资出品的商业电影，也将是第一部从海南走向全国院线乃至海外上映的电影，它标志着三亚电影业的崛起。电影由张景泓执导，编剧马红涛，知名剧作家马红路担任剧本指导。电影将于7月正式开机，拟于年底在三亚首映。

As an international tourist city located on the tropical island of Hainan, Sanya plays an important role in the development of Hainan and serves as a standard-bearer for the rest of the island. However, Sanya has yet to build a mature and advanced film and television industry to promote the uniqueness of both the city and the island. Love at Atlantis will be the first movie to reverse this trend and help Sanya to develop its own world-class movie industry. 

三亚作为国际知名的热带海岛旅游城市，在海南国际旅游岛的建设中扮演着重要角色，是海南省对外宣传的重要窗口。然而迄今为止，三亚没有一部成熟和具有代表性的影视作品来推介它的城市形象和独特旅游资源。海岛爱情系列电影第一部——《海岛恋人之凤求凰》应运而生，并将担此重任。

Love at Atlantis is also Hainan’s first independent investment highlighting Hainan’s natural romantic settings in film and fully demonstrates the capabilities of local Hainanese film studios. Under the backdrop of a new Free Trade Zone and opening-up policy, the filmmakers are fully confident that the film will be able to compete in China’s huge commercial film market and embody the Hainanese spirit through the film.

海岛爱情系列电影将成为海南电影史上的里程碑。《海岛恋人之凤求凰》，这部展现当代海南和美好爱情的电影，将是海南建省以来第一部由本省公司独立出品，且是唯一一部率先走出海南、走进全国院线乃至海外发行的商业电影。这充分说明海南本土影视公司有能力、有信心在海南建设自由贸易区的红利政策背景下，将自身融入到庞大的电影市场竞争中，体现了海南人与时俱进、砥砺前行的奋斗精神。

The Phoenix, a mythological creature of great importance in Chinese culture, is presented as a recurring theme throughout Love at Atlantis. Not only does this legendary bird tie in heavily to the story of Love at Atlantis, but also many locations in the film—including Phoenix Village, Phoenix Island, and Phoenix Valley in Sanya—connect the film’s story to the mythology surrounding the Phoenix. 

“凤凰”，作为“四灵”之一，被奉为百禽之王。古有萧史、弄玉吹箫引凤的故事，而凤凰于飞的吉祥图案更是家庭幸福的美好象征。海岛爱情系列电影第一部——《海岛恋人之凤求凰》，其名称和剧情，与三亚多处地名相呼应，如凤凰镇、凤凰村、凤凰路、凤凰岛、凤凰岭、凤凰谷、凤凰机场等，体现了三亚市“凤舞天涯”、美丽浪漫的旅游形象定位。

The film distinguishes itself from other romance movies by incorporating more elements of affection and friendship. With a backdrop of the past three decades of development in Hainan, it showcases the personal dreams and aspirations of the protagonists and how they are affected by China’s rapid economic progress. Love at Atlantis expresses the toughness and tenacity of local Hainanese people and their love for China despite undergoing difficult and hard times, and who ultimately come to embody the saying “there is always more to love in life”.

本片与众多爱情片的最大不同，是融入了更多亲情和友情的元素，它描写了两代海南人在海南建省三十年发展历程中，面对风云变幻的大时代背景，不断开拓进取，为实现梦想所付出的跋涉与努力。这其中有彷徨、纷争，更有海南人民的坚韧和果敢；有亲情、爱情，更有中国人最难割舍的家国情，所谓“一生挚爱当如是”。

Love at Atlantis is conducting an international search for an entertaining, talented and energetic female lead. This role will extend far beyond acting, as the final winner of this search will go on to become an ambassador for the city of Sanya, participating in various promotional and modeling activities to boost tourism on the island. With the full support of the local government, Sanya and numerous high-end brands are cooperating to provide strong dividends for the tourism and cultural industry in Sanya.

本片女主角选秀活动涉及国内及海外，目的是选拔出一批引领时代，有朝气、有担当的女艺员加入创作团队，优胜者将成为三亚市旅游推广大使，随着电影发行和首映参与各类推广活动和海内外电影节。在当地政府的有力支持下，辅以国内外高端品牌联运，本次选秀活动必将为三亚旅游及文化产业发展带来一股清新动力。

As a romantic movie, viewers can expect plenty of beautiful and starry-eyed scenes throughout the film, as well as an attempt at breaking a Guinness World Record. The script further calls for filming in Angkor Wat in Cambodia, adding to the sense of excitement and wonder ahead of its launch. The international post-production team will highlight the advantages of Sanya as a tropical wedding destination, promoting the wedding industry throughout the island in order to bring high-profile stars to the island to hold world-class weddings set against the backdrop of a tropical paradise.

《海岛恋人之凤求凰》将主要在三亚取景拍摄。影片中荟萃了三亚几乎所有标志性的旅游项目，包括蜈支洲岛、呀咯哒、天涯海角等著名景区，融入了一系列浪漫唯美的婚礼元素，甚至还有可能产生吉尼斯世界纪录。为了剧情的需要，除了拍摄主场——占地54万平方米的三亚•亚特兰蒂斯度假区，剧组还将远赴神秘国度——柬埔寨取景。主创人员希望通过演员真诚而生动的演绎、国际化团队的精心制作，全方位展示三亚作为热带海岛婚礼目的地的资源优势，愿能借助电影在全国的上映，吸引更多婚庆客户包括明星来此举办高端定制的海岛婚礼。
