It follows a group of idol trainees with dreams to brave the winds and waves in their journey to stand on stage. Gu Yang who has been playing piano since he was a child was accepted to the Julliard School of Music. Alas, with his family going bankrupt, he can no longer enroll as planned. In order to hold on to his musical dreams and appease his distressed mother, Gu Yang joins an agency as a trainee. Since Gu Yang only knows classical music and practically nothing about pop music, he is put into the backup group. Here, he meets Zhao Zhengnan who dances well and Lu Xinghao, who sings well. With their help, Gu Yang steadily improves and manages to beat out the rest to become part of the debut group. Meanwhile, Lin Chen who used to follow Gu Yang around is no longer the person he once was. He considers Gu Yang to be his fiercest competitor and will do anything to surpass 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.
