The Chongqing Evening News says New Line Cinema, a major Hollywood film studio, is inviting Qian Zhijun, commonly known as Xiao Pang or Little Fatty, to star in a film adaptation of "Ghost Blows Out the Light," a popular Chinese online novel about a group of tomb raiders and their mysterious adventures in ancient tombs.

Sources from New Line Cinema suggest Xiao Pang is perfect for the role because he and the novel share a common popularity among Internet users.

The 19-year-old's chubby face has become a favorite tool for Chinese Internet users to practice their Photoshop skills -- many use his face to replace the visages of such famous icons as Harry Potter, Austin Powers and the Mona Lisa.
