Zhao Dawei, the son of the "richest" man in the stone village, who fails for the ninth time to propose marriage, but mistakenly believes that Chen Tianyu, the first secretary of the capital, is the culprit. The two young men compete for the construction of a pilot project. Both young men have a lot to laugh about during the construction of the pilot. The battle intensifies as the two young men enjoy the chaos, with the prettiest girl in the village, the village headman, the richest and stingiest man, and the three brawling brothers taking part in the battle. In the end, the former "village bully", David, is inspired to fight back and develop his potential, and he joins forces with the wise and warm-hearted secretary, Tianyu, to solve the village's perennial wealth problem and lead it into a new chapter of fighting poverty.
Most data and links to images for the Movies section come from TheMovieDB (TMDB).
Additional data for Film Titles come from The Open Movie Database (OMDb).
At least one plug-in comes from IMDb.
Data are -- hey, it's a plural -- subject to the limitations of their sources. (For example, TMDB search results currently max out at 20.) I am limiting myself to free data sources for now. (No, a "free trial" is not free.)
While much of the above data are retrieved directly from outside APIs and other such sources, data from American Film Institute (AFI) and British Film Institute (BFI) were manually entered the old fashioned way into a MySQL database. Re BFI I took the following liberties:
Regarding profile removals and data corrections:
Filtering is applied here to film projects flagged as "adult" by TheMovieDB. Pending "popular demand" I am contemplating a login and profile system with preferences (such as whether to allow adult images to appear) and permissions (such as data entry).
Whereas the overall purpose of this website is to serve as a personal demo/portfolio/workshop of web and data skills, this Movies section is not meant to compete with or substitute for far more definitive movie websites.
Whether or not he still clings to an award which he won in 1986 as a film critic for his college's newspaper, Jeffrey Hartmann is not responsible for the texts of overviews and biographies supplied by external data sources.
