In 2004, Fung wrote, directed, and starred in his feature film directorial debut, Enter the Phoenix, for Jackie Chan's newly formed company JCE Movies Limited; it became an instant hit. His second directing and starring feature, House of Fury, Fung's first collaboration with legendary action director Yuen Woo-ping, proved to be a success. House of Fury was the opening selection for the Hong Kong International Film Festival 2005, official selection for the 18th Tokyo International Film Festival, and the highest grossing Hong Kong film for the first half of 2005.

Besides continuing with his acting career, Fung directed Jump, written and produced by Stephen Chow for Sony Columbia Pictures Asia. In 2012, Fung directed the first two installments, Tai Chi 0 and Tai Chi Hero, in the "Tai Chi Trilogy."

Cool Style's business scope includes artist management and related businesses aiming to cultivate new forces with abundant resources and platforms.[2]
