William, who makes it in the list the first time is excited and said, “I am very happy and hope to achieve better results next year.”
According to Hong Kong media, a mainland production agency is keen to film a remake of 2001 TVB blockbuster drama, A Step into the Past <尋秦記>, and intends to invite the original cast of Swords of Legends to star in the drama.
