Production and Casting
Yi Yi's principal shooting began on April 8, 1999 and lasted until August 21, 1999. Prior to this, Yang's script had required the children to be aged ten and fifteen, but Yang later found Jonathan Chang and Kelly Lee, both of whom had never acted before. When shooting began, they were eight and thirteen respectively. Yang made amendments to the script accordingly.

Famous quotes containing the words production and, production and/or casting:
“The heart of man ever finds a constant succession of passions, so that the destroying and pulling down of one proves generally to be nothing else but the production and the setting up of another.”
—François, Duc De La Rochefoucauld (1613–1680)
“The growing of food and the growing of children are both vital to the family’s survival.... Who would dare make the judgment that holding your youngest baby on your lap is less important than weeding a few more yards in the maize field? Yet this is the judgment our society makes constantly. Production of autos, canned soup, advertising copy is important. Housework—cleaning, feeding, and caring—is unimportant.”
—Debbie Taylor (20th century)
“All we know
Is that we are a little early, that
Today has that special, lapidary
Todayness that the sunlight reproduces
Faithfully in casting twig-shadows on blithe
Sidewalks. No previous day would have been like this.”
—John Ashbery (b. 1927)
