, Singaporeans have made quite a name for themselves in Hong Kong after joining TVB. In another timeline, we could have had veteran local actor Wang Yuqing in the mix, too.

Another regret he has is turning Taiwanese singer Sarah Chen down when she offered to introduce him to Taiwanese novelist and producer Chiung Yao, who has had her novels adapted into over 100 films and TV dramas. Taiwanese actor Chin Han rocketed to fame in the 1970s and 1980s after starring in adaptations of her novels.

“If I had acted then how I acted when I auditioned for the local TV station at the age of 20, I'd have signed the TVB contract without much thought,” he said.When Yuqing first joined showbiz, he remembered that “there weren’t many artistes yet” but, by the time Li Nanxing joined in 1986, the company was “searching for new faces”.
