Yue Xiang Lou is an old teahouse that no longer bears its former glory. Currently owned by Yue Tian Hua, the teahouse is struggling to survive. Just as Tian Hua is trying to sell off the teahouse, a young man appeared and jeopardised his plans. To his surprise, he turned out to be Yue Wen Guang, Tian Hua's long lost son who left him at an early age with his mother. Wen Guang knew he wanted to bring the teahouse back to its past glory. But he must first convince Na La, who had inherited great culinary skills from her father, Liang Gui, the previous head chef of Yue Xiang Lou, to help bring the teahouse back to success. But Zhou Gang Sheng, a wealthy heir from Hong Kong, sets out on his quest to take over the teahouse. The matter is worsened when, despite Wen Guang's efforts, his relationship with Tian Hua continues to suffer. Will Na La agree to help revive the past glory of the teahouse?
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.
