Meng Xiaotang (played by Ke Ying), an author who skyrocketed to online fame through her derivative works, encounters a nostalgic client who offers her a lot of money, demanding she rediscover her original passion for writing wuxia novels. The client wants her to revise her melodramatic story "The Tale of Nan Xi," which portrays a female antagonist who forsakes love for power. For the sake of money, Meng Xiaotang arbitrarily alters the plot, angering the online literature system. She unexpectedly finds herself transported to a wuxia world where the story has been completely altered, becoming the villainous femme fatale Feng Nanxi, who is hunted by everyone in the martial arts world. Although she possesses the invincible Xiyun Technique, she is unable to use it. While fleeing for her life, Feng Nanxi encounters the dashing scammer Shen Yu (played by Deng Chaoyuan), discovering that she is inexplicably bound to him. To use her Xiyun Technique, Feng Nanxi must rely on Shen Yu.
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.
