With the support of actor-producer Alan Tang, Lau made his directorial debut with The Haunted Cop Shop, which showcased his distinctive style in supernatural comedies. The genre, along with its vampire and horror counterparts, soon became prominent in Hong Kong Cinema.
The renowned producer Wu Szu Yuan recognized Lau’s talents and invited him to develop All for the Winner with Corey Yuen in 1990. The film became one of the top-grossing films in Hong Kong Cinema and sent its leading man, Stephen Chow, on his way to stardom.
In 1992, under his pseudonym Chi An, Lau wrote the cult classic "92 Legendary La Rose Noire", which pioneered the nostalgic musical genre.
Lau partnered with Corey Yuen again in 1997 and founded Cinemagic. He was also the producer of Stephen Chow’s blockbuster Kung Fu Hustle in 2004.
