Calling it now: The hollywoodified hagiographic biopic of Zhang Yitang will feature him having a sudden mathematical epiphany during his shift at a Subway restaurant. While filling an order for a ham and turkey sub, he is struck by the insight:

Gotta love the dancing. Hackers gave me an unrealistic expectation that hot Romulan looking chicks would be into programming.
