The 32-year-old also expressed that he was elated to be able to work with Hong Kong actor-producer Raymond Wong, who starred in the movie "Happy Ghost". "Happy Ghost" was the reason for Wong's first visit to Malaysia.

"Since we got a good response about the movie and we really enjoyed producing it, we are planning to continue "Magic To Win" as a series", said 63-year-old Wong.

The choice to cast Wong and Wu Chun was mostly based on intuition on Wilson's part, however, the acclaimed director of "SPL" and the "Ip Man" series have worked together with Wong for a long time.

Wilson explained that Wong wanted to make a movie similar to "Happy Ghost", so he called Wilson in to be the director, to which the latter agreed because he was impressed by the idea.
