Kevin Cheng attended to a tennis event yesterday. As for the rumor that he forced producer Lee Tim Sing to film sequel for "A Fistful of Stance," Kevin felt the rumor is too ridiculous: "Actually besides me, other actors also said they want to film a sequel for it. But this is a decision that has to be considered by everyone. I can't decide on my own. They said I want to win TV King? Right now Tim Gor is filming anniversary series 'Rosy Business 2,' Wayne Lai and Sheren Tang are top priorities." Kevin also expressed he gets along well with actors and the crew from "AOF". It's a pity that the series only has 25 episodes. If it was to have 30 - 40 episodes, it might turn out even better.
