The story takes place in Macau. In a city full of money and speculation, the protagonist Zhou Yue Bin, with ten years of hard work, started from Junket Operator, and was eventually promoted to the first-class VIP room owner. After reading all the intrigues in the casino, Zhou Yue Bin made a vow not to be gambling, but fell in love with the gambler Yi Yan, which made him fall into the biggest gambling game in his life. Besides Yi Yan's huge sums of debt there is also the heartache of finding his missing fiancé.
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.
