Xiao Wu
The cast and crew of the film consisted of a mix of Jia regulars and newcomers. Cinematographer Yu Lik-wai, who has served in the role in nearly the entire Jia filmography, returns once again for "Unknown Pleasures". Editor Chow Keung is also a frequent Jia collaborator and would help produce several of his subsequent films, including "24 City", "The World", and the Golden Lion-winning "Still Life". Along with producer Li Kit Ming, Chow and Yu have been described by Jia as the "core of his creative team." Among the cast, Zhao Tao (Qiao Qiao) and Wang Hongwei (Xiao Wu) are also Jia regulars.
