As for Qiong Yao, she says, "I'm having a headache over the new series just now. I just wen to Mainland, China this week.

If both the series can be filmed together, I hope to write the scripts so that one will link with the other somehow. As soon as HZGG III is finished broadcasting, Snow and Fire shall follow."

Qiong Yao wants both series to be filmed in Beijing, and hopes that the actors in the two series can guest starr in the other series, and therefore the actors can interact in both series.

7/18/2001-Since HZGG I and II has been broadcasted in various places, there have been many discussions among the fans and audience in whether there was to be a HZGG III to continue the fairy-tale like story. After much rumors and speculations, Qiong Yao has spoken again.

Because the two former HZGG female lead, Zhao Wei and Ruby Lin both were said to be booked for the rest of the year, Qiong Yao has considered the possibility of changing the casts for HZGG III. If the two actress could not fit the filming of HZGG III, which was rumored to start filming at the end of this year, then their roles shall be taken over by new actresses Qiong Yao has found in Mainland, China.

Once again, Qiong Yao is hoping to help another unknown on the road to stardom. It was rumored that the girl Qiong Yao has in mind was to take over Zhao Wei's famous portrayal of Siao Yan Zi in HZGG III, and that Qiong Yao had waited for this girl for two years already.

Whether the news were merely rumor or fact depends of course on the persons involved entirely. What all can do is merely to wait and hope...
