During the late eighties, three good friends, Yi Wei, Chu Fan and Da Wei, formed a band called "Crescendo" out of their passion for music. After graduation, they established "Crescendo" Music Company to realize their dreams. Many years later, "Crescendo" has established itself in the music industry and successfully nurtured many homegrown talents. Chu Fan, Yi Wei and Da Wei have finally realized their dreams. However, the music trend in Singapore has changed in recent years and fewer youths are interested in Xin Yao music. "Crescendo" music school faces operational and financial difficulties. Just then, Chu Fan's ex-wife, Mei Ling returns from overseas. She sees the potential in "Crescendo" and wishes to invest in their business. Da Wei's crush Xue Li returns as well to be a vocal coach at "Crescendo". Since the return of the two, the three friends find themselves embroiled in complicated love affairs. Chu Fan accuses Mei Ling of wrongdoing because of a misunderstanding.
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.
