Gan Wangxing, born in Liling, Zhuzhou, Hunan, is a Chinese idol represented by Yuxiao Media. He studied at the Central South University of Forestry and Technology in Changsha, China. He excelled in athletics as a child and is a national second-level athlete. He came from a rural background and worked several jobs to support himself and his family before joining "Produce Camp 2021". In 2021, he was invited to "Produce Camp 2021" as a trainee. During his time on "Produce Camp 2021", he gained popularity for being awkward and humble despite his attractive appearance. He only trained for one month in singing and dancing before the show. Even though his skills were lacking compared to other trainees, he made it to the finale and ranked #14 due to his personality and quick learning. Before "Produce Camp 2021", he already had popularity on Weibo. He caught the attention of many people due to his good looks when working at a haunted mansion. He was given the name "The Most Handsome Ghost/NPC" by Chinese netizens. Many girls would visit the haunted mansion just to take pictures with him.
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.
