"It was adapted into a movie based on my novel of the same name, 'A Chinese Ghost Story.'" Zhang Qiurui said slowly.
"Is it the character of Nie Xiaoqian?
You know what? The role of Nie Xiaoqian really suits your image, Director Zhang? Could it be that when Director Zhang wrote the novel "A Chinese Ghost Story," he based the description on your own appearance? "Hong Jingbao had been delving into comedy thrillers these days. He had not only seen horror films like "Uncle Zombie," "Mr. Vampire," and "The Taoist Priest with One Eyebrow," but he had also read the novel "A Chinese Ghost Story" written by Zhang Qiurui.
