Nan Bo Wan is a high ranking executive, but his life is not considered luxurious in Beijing, so he decides to rent out an apartment to earn extra money. Bai Li Qian Chuan is an unknown idol, who has always dreamt of becoming popular and would do anything to achieve it. By chance, Bai Li Qian Chuan becomes Nan Bo Wan's rentee. One day, while Bai Li Qianchuan is doing a live broadcast, Nan Bo Wan walks past with only a towel wrapped around him. This leads to misunderstandings that the two are in a relationship and ultimately a new group of fujoshi fans for Bai Li Qian Chuan. Finally having a taste of popularity, Bai Li Qian Chuan decides to pretend to be gay and showcase lovey dovey moments with Nan Bo Wan.

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.
