In 1984, Taiwan’s Central Motion Pictures Corporation decided to invest in The Gift of Ah Fu, a film about three men sharing the same name of but living different destinies in Hong Kong, Mainland China and Taiwan. Mak was invited to direct the Hong Kong segment, launching his directing career. The next year, he directed The Loser, the Hero (1985), a satire of Taiwan’s education system so incisive it was nearly banned by the censors. After making two more films in Taiwan, Mak returned to Hong Kong and directed the comedies All Night Long (1989) and To Spy with Love!! (1990). He later directed The Wicked City (1992, also known as Supernatural Beast City), a live-action adaptation of the Japanese anime of the same title.
Since 2002, Mak had been working in television, directing series co-produced by Mainland China and Taiwan, including such top-rated dramas as Meteor Garden 2 (2002), Dreams Link (2007), In Love with the Anchor Beauty (2010) and Models (2013).
