He then joined Cinema City as a screenwriter, his first produced screenplay being a 1988 romantic comedy, and at one point returned to Asia Television as script supervisor on variety shows. In 1991 he went back to film, forming a production company with director Cha Chuen-yee whose first release he produced, and he went on to produce and write many pictures. A crime drama based on a real case brought his first Hong Kong Film Awards nomination for best screenplay, and four subsequent crime films made his name.
