It was followed by The Park, also in 2007. The film was produced by Filmblog Media with the support of the Yunnan provincial government. The Case follows an innkeeper, played by Wu Gang, who one day comes across a black suitcase floating in the river, only to discover that it contains the body, finely dismembered and frozen.
