To save costs, new director Zhong Jiudao rented a famously haunted house to film. The house, uninhabited for many years, was home to numerous ancient evil spirits. They appeared behind Zhong Jiudao, intending to teach this human who dared to trespass on their territory a lesson. To their surprise, Zhong Jiudao calmly pulled out a script and read it aloud to the 'people' in the haunted house. The ghosts were intrigued: "Playing a ghost in a script... that sounds quite fun!" Zhong Jiudao then asked them if they were interested in filming, promising a salary paid in spirit money. When asked what kind of film, he replied, "A satisfying revenge story where the protagonist, a ghost, achieves everything smoothly and triumphs quickly." The ghosts eagerly raised their hands, vying for roles. Meanwhile, unremarkable eighteenth-tier actor Luo Huai, fresh out of film school, landed a supporting role in this horror film. Despite the poor production crew, the director had a great temperament, the staff worked happily, and the senior actor playing the ghost was both skilled and enthusiastic, patiently guiding Luo Huai. The senior ghost advised, "You can't act like that; you need to be more realistic. If you're not realistic, how can you trick those humans into your territory?" Realizing his slip, he quickly corrected, "I misspoke. Being realistic is how you draw viewers into your performance." Luo Huai, impressed, thanked his senior. This is a lighthearted supernatural story set in the modern entertainment industry, featuring a Daoist Master director (gong) who spontaneously turns ghosts into free employees, and an actor (shou) whose unique constitution easily summons spirits.
