Liu Angxing, the son of Liu Feng, a famous chef in the Bright World, lives in Juxialou in Shushan. His dream is to participate in the Empire's Dragon Chef Competition. At this time, the world's culinary world is divided into two factions, the Bright World and the Dark World. After Kai You, the leader of the Dark World, used a trick to obtain the position of Dragon Chef, he began to encroach on the territory of the Bright World, and Juxialou was not spared. The Dark World bribed Shaoan, the apprentice of Fairy Bei, and poisoned Fairy Bei in a despicable way, causing her to be injured, and expelled her and her son from Juxialou. In order to take back Juxialou, Liu Angxing went to Nanxian Restaurant in Nanling to learn cooking from the famous chef Ding You. At the same time, Admiral Li, the leader of the Bright World, also selected Liu Angxing as a rookie of the Bright World for key training, hoping that he can eventually represent the Bright World in the Dragon Chef Competition.
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.
