"New Snow Leopard" is adapted from the online novel "Special Warfare Pioneer" written by an amateur sniper. The novel was adapted into the TV series "Snow Leopard" starring Wen Zhang in 2009, which was well received after it was broadcast. Three years later, the original team of the old version of "Snow Leopard" teamed up again to create "New Snow Leopard", and Zhang Ruoyun played the key role Zhou Weiguo, who was once played by Wen Zhang.
