Chen Shu Cheng is a veteran artiste whose career spans over 40 years in the entertainment business. Undisputedly the person all younger artistes look up to, Shu Cheng is a role model for anyone who wishes to carve out and sustain a profession in this business. He is well liked by sponsors due to his eloquence and quick wit. These attributes gave him the chance to host Econ Nite and Weekend Delight year after year. With his vast amount of life experience behind him, Shu Cheng is able to handle live and major shows without any hiccups. He is also a consummate actor whose professional ethics is an exemplifying example to all other artistes. He has acted in blockbuster productions that garnered amazing ratings from viewers. Give him any role and Shu Cheng is able to break it down analytically without much effort. Without a doubt, he is definitely a valuable asset to Mediacorp. Shu Cheng was reaffirmed of his hard work and acting skills, when he won the Best Supporting Award for The Oath 行医, at Star Awards 2012. He was also awarded the Best Evergreen Artiste Award in Star Award 2016. Shu Cheng won his second Best Everygreen Artiste Award in Star Award 2018, his second Best Supporting Actor Award for A Million Dollar Dream and his first Top 10 Most Popular Male Artistes Award in Star Awards 2019.
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.
