Xiao Zhan is a Chinese actor, singer, and former member of the male idol group X NINE, born in Chongqing, China. Before his debut, Xiao Zhan worked as a photographer and graphic designer. He established his own studio, "XZ Studio," in September 2019.  Xiao Zhan's big break came in 2019 when he starred in the hit series "The Untamed." He won several awards for his performance, including the "Most Popular Actor" at the Golden Tower Award and the "Most Popular Actor of the Year" at the Sina Film & TV Awards. He was also listed in Forbes China's "30 Under 30 Asia 2019" list.  Apart from acting, Xiao Zhan has also continued his singing career, releasing hit singles such as "Spotlight," which became the fastest-selling digital track in China in 2020, entering the Guinness World Records as one of the 10 biggest-selling digital singles worldwide.  In April 2021, Xiao Zhan made his first theatrical debut as lead Patient No. 5 in the play "A Dream Like A Dream," which honored the efforts of volunteers, community workers, and medical staff during the Covid-19 pandemic breakout.  On November 2, 2023, Xiao Zhan won the Outstanding Young Actor Award for his series "The Youth Promises" at the prestigious 19th Annual Chinese-American Film & TV Festival held in Los Angeles, California.

About the Movie Section

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:

  • I added "runners up" to Top 10 lists, treating them as ties where applicable and numbering them accordingly at the bottom of each list.
  • Regarding those polls wherein "franchise" movies were submitted as one project until BFI's policy changed to regard them separately, I treated them as ties and renumbered the affected lists accordingly (e.g. the Godfather films).

Regarding profile removals and data corrections:

  • If you would like your profile removed from this site, please contact the source of this data directly, TheMovieDB. My assumption is: once it's gone from their site, it should soon be gone from this site.
  • If you would like to correct movie data on this site, please contact the source of this data directly, TheMovieDB. My assumption is: once it's corrected on their site, it should soon be corrected on this site.
  • For additional corrections and profile removals, please e-mail The Open Movie Database (OMDb).

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.
