She also joked that she was not afraid of ghosts, "ghosts see that I am afraid", the successful appearance also scared the director Chen Guo, TaiBao and Huang Younan also said bluntly, although there was no right play, but when watching the premiere, I was really scared by Shao Yinyin.
In the film, Shao Yinyin did not have a single line, which initially made her quite worried, "Because acting can use the tone of voice to drive emotions, I didn't act a word?" 」 Finally, he also said funnyly, "It can be seen that my acting skills are very good, the director is right to find me, I don't have to talk like a ghost." 」

And Huang Younan in the film as the unscrupulous Fang Zhong who sells the murderous house, he bluntly said that the most difficult place to interpret the role is that the eloquence should be very good, to be able to talk about the sky, just before the shooting, he moved, there is a friend who is fang zhong, for this reason, he also specially consulted some professional terms with friends, so that the Fang Zhong he played was more vivid.
In the film, he has a scene of being spurted by blood, he shared that the plasma is actually made of loquat paste, there is a scene where he must lie in a pool of blood, but filmed for several days, the first and second days are fine, the third day began to grow some bugs, but he did not dare to get up and rest until the completion of the shot every time he shot for the drama, which was also an experience that impressed him. Asked if you ate a lot of blood? He laughed back, "Definitely, but it's okay, sweet."
Huang Younan shared that the most impressive thing is the bathtub erotic scene with his girlfriend in the film, there are some erotic actions when filming that scene, but how to shoot will shoot the pants, the assistant director keeps telling him to pull down a little, pulling until he has already exposed half of his ass or not, and finally he simply went naked, "Really for the film directed by Chen Guo, I will do this."

Taibao played the role of "charter public" in the film, describing this role as the same as the landlord mentality in Hong Kong today, "A house can be rented to others with 10 rooms, and the rent is not cheap, 7 or 8 thousand a month, the actual price is 70,000 or 80,000, you think about it, why doesn't he do it?" That's the situation in Hong Kong right now."
He also bluntly said that this play is a black humor comedy, you can not watch it as a ghost movie, "In fact, it is full of funny, entertaining, there are positive and serious themes in it, each character has his background and what he wants to express, as for the ghost thing, it is fun!" 」
Chen Guo shared that since his last ghost film is 2013's "Lost Night: Sting", he has filmed many ghost films in his career, especially zombie films, but this time "Ghosts Live with You" is carried out with 3 main story, which is different from the past, cleverly integrating thriller and comedy elements into one, satirizing Hong Kong's residential problems, and I hope that everyone "will not watch it as a general ghost film". "Ghosts Live with You" will be released on Taiwan on October 1.
