TV reporter Wei Haiyi (Played by Maggie Shao) interviews the cage house where the urban poor live, and meets the young Ma Zhongbao (Wen Zhaolun). Zhongbao grew up in a cage house since childhood, indulged in reading all day long, and his personality was extremely closed. After the interview, Haiyi inadvertently took away Zhongbao's novel "Frog and Scorpion", and was deeply impressed by Zhongbao's bitter pursuit. The highly reputable lawyer and lawmaker Cham Yourong (Luo Yingjun) is the underground lover of Haiyi's mother, Wei Jinling (Miao Jinfeng), but intends to invade Haiyi, and Haiyi kills him in a hurry. The mercenary Jin Ling accepted a huge bribe from Rong's wife and even testified against her daughter in court.
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.
