During the winter in the year 1986, Deng Xiao Ping sent John J. Phelan, Jr. of the New York Stock Exchange a priceless gift - a stock certificate issued in Shanghai. China was entering a new age in financial reform and at the forefront is Pudong. This is a story about the young people during that time. Zhao Hai Ying, Xie Tian Yang and Chen Meng Lei have ventured out into the financial world hoping to catch up with the seismic change befitting the times. Xie Tian Yang is an exchange student who becomes Zhao Hai Ying's biggest opponent. The banking industry is in danger and Zhao Hai Ying becomes embroiled in an act of fraud at a grand scale. He finds that his morals and values are tested time and again because of the difficult road ahead.
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.
