(Business Times, August 2, 2013) Mostly known for his horror films (which he wrote,directed and co-produced) Blood Ties還魂 (2009) and Twisted 撞鬼 (2011), 2013 has been a bumper year for him. His most recent music-movie, That Girl in Pinafore 我的朋友，我的同學，我愛過的一切(2013), was lauded at the Shanghai International Film Festival (SIFF). It caught the attention of the producers of the highly acclaimed Chinese reality talent show, The Voice of China, who immediately sought after him to direct their own brand of music-movie, starring contestants from the first and second seasons. This highly anticipated movie I WANT YOU 中國好聲音之為你轉身 is slated for a 2013 Christmas release in China, while Hong Kong, Taiwan, Singapore, Malaysia and other territories can expect a January 2014 release.
