200-Guest Memorial for Yu in China? Ji Guang Has Wife & Teen Child? Shock Pricing & Dirty Millions!

One would think that after the shocking case involving Yu Menglong, everyone connected to it would disappear in silence. But no, they showed up looking radiant, even seeming happier than ever, as if nothing had happened. One person went live to promote a film, another laughed and posted photos online, while someone else boldly challenged the public, I've never been afraid of any of you. Netizens kept questioning why, right before the deceased went missing, did the whole group post messages that seemed exactly like coded instructions? At the same time, accusations from insiders in the entertainment industry painted a chilling picture. Secret wine parties, actresses recruited through their bodies, performances to entertain powerful tycoons, fees worth hundreds of thousands exchanged for a single night, and pimps, both male and female, taking a 20% cut as brokers. What kind of secrets does this industry really hide? Let's uncover them in today's episode. Suspiciously cheerful? Odd behavior from the suspects. On the night of November 19th, Song Yiren posted on Weibo, anyone delusional enough to challenge the limits of the Chinese people will be struck back. Her IP location showed she was in Beijing, meaning she most likely had returned home. On her page, she even pinned smiling photos of herself in Hanfu, as if nothing had happened at all. Fan Shiqi acted even more boldly. Recently, he opened a livestream to promote his new film Let Me Love, and earlier, he had posted a series of smiling photos on Weibo. On November 13th, he even uploaded a badminton video. His arm strength was good, and he seemed in high spirits. Fan Xiaohua has been constantly making moves, appearing as though he is testing the public's reaction. Yet the public pays no attention to him as a person. Instead, they keep firing questions. Strong arms indeed. Did you use those same hands to hit him? You're the one who made our mutual friend disappear. Is this the same person who once sold a grand total of 50 tickets to his concert? Who arranged the meeting? Who organized the drinking? Whose watch was it? Can these details ever be made public? However, Fan Shiqi seems even more triumphant. He recently declared, I've never been afraid of any of you. Gao Taiyu also threw out a challenge. Want to play? I'll play with you to the end. Meanwhile, Ji Guangguang was exposed when netizens dug up an old 2016 Instagram photo of him strolling with his wife and daughter. His Instagram is now locked, but the little girl in the picture is currently around 16, meaning she was 7 at the time. If Ji was truly born in 1986, then by around 2009, at age 23, he already had a child. It seems Ji Guangguang is someone who enjoys both sides. The netizen who found the photo commented that they wondered whether Ji's family knew what happened behind the curtain between him and his consort, Zhao Maiqi. What about the widow, Tianhai Rong? In her statement on October 10th, she claimed she rarely uses social media, yet starting in November, she began posting frequently on Weibo, mostly promoting the films she directed, such as A World Without Me. Netizens mocked her, her acting was terrible, a scandal had erupted, and she still expected people to watch her films. Her works are now being boycotted, and negative reviews flooded in before the film's release. Even under such conditions, she continues pushing forward against the wind. Is she truly confident, or is there another reason? The public keeps questioning, how can something this serious show no progress? Clearly, this is no longer a simple criminal case. It is a battle between power, money, and those who collude in the shadows. The people visible to the public are merely pawns, the ones behind them are the real terror. They are not only wealthy, but hold influence and protection. The suspects appear fearless because they know they have backing. Backing that is not likely to collapse in a single day, and may not be limited to one person. They may have been planning this long beforehand. Netizens have now discovered that on Monday, August 25th this year, Fan Zhiqi posted on Weibo, it's time to make a move again. On the surface, it looked like he was talking about an upcoming concert. But on the same day, director Fan Li also posted, time to get to work again. He simultaneously reposted his own super topic, announcing the official start of a documentary. On the same day, right before Yu Menglong met his fate, both of them posted messages resembling, it's time to act, and let's begin, making netizens question whether they were using coded language, with concerts and films serving as cover. Furthermore, still in August, on August 3rd, Chinese singer Gao Taiyu posted publicly, let him go, it's already too late. Below it, he added hashtags such as, Trump Transition, Changing Outfits, Air Mood, and Star Festival. At the time, those who were unaware may have assumed it was just typical entertainment gatherings. But looking back now is chilling, always reminding people of twisted parties. The so-called Star Festival may well have been a code for that particular day. As we know, Yu Menglong's final recognized public interaction with fans was on August 13th, when he boarded a van leaving the airport, wiping away tears as he waved. He probably knew what was to come. Perhaps from that day on, he had already lost his freedom. Gao Taiyu's post on August 3rd was a warning. On August 9th, Yu Menglong's fan club announced, we will no longer accept letters or gifts offline. Then on August 25th, fans Xiqi and Fang Li posted those coded statements like time to make a move, which were likely the announcement of Yu Menglong's final moment. Everything happened step by step and according to plan. A Chinese film crew plans a memorial for Yu Menglong. Despite the truth behind his death still unclear, the team of A Love Story of Oiled Paper Umbrella, a drama Yu Menglong once filmed, has proposed holding a memorial for him. The venue is large, needs a week of preparation, and costs around 26,000 yuan for about 200 people. Strangely, instead of paying the fee themselves, an amount that is pocket change for them, they're asking Yu's fans to fund it. Besides, many netizens worry that memorial events like these require family members to attend, and that the organizers might be deliberately pushing the family into the public eye. Thus, they are now calling for a boycott. Even if the production wasn't directly involved in Yu's death, they shared nothing to help clarify what happened. Now they suddenly want a memorial, which feels opportunistic. Some viewers also recall odd details during filming, such as a wedding scene where only the bride's side displayed the happiness symbol, while Yu's side had none, evoking a ghost marriage. If the crew wants to honor him, revealing the truth would mean more than a stage ceremony. On November 20th, Mango Media's stock dipped from 26.18 to 26.01, briefly dropping to 25.75. A netizen complained on a forum, it fell from 36 to 26, over 10 billion gone, and the company won't even explain. Why? Replies included, you already know the answer, and it's something that can't be said. Others mocked, it's a big company, losing a little blood won't kill it. Some pointed out that Mango Supermedia has now shifted under Zhong Tianze Ma Lanshan, Changsha, hinting people should watch those stock codes instead. Money Laundering Tricks and the Hidden Rules of Entertainment As previously mentioned, the Yu Menglong incident has exposed many dark corners of the entertainment world. Among them are allegations of money laundering and unspoken rules. Some companies allegedly use artists' names and images to open shell companies, even linked to a legal trade, while others rely on different schemes. Because of these practices, the industry has become a lucrative target for certain powerful figures. According to commentator Li Muyong, there are four common methods used to launder money through film and TV. The first is through inflated actor salaries. The second involves production expenses. For example, scenes with explosions or fires may cost only tens of thousands of yuan, but the budget might report several million, and no one can verify how much was actually spent. The third method is through distribution and promotion, where marketing budgets can be exaggerated indefinitely, claimed figures that no one can truly check. Some people even launder money while reporting heavy losses, and end up being praised as artists who care nothing for box office profits. The last method, he claims, happens after a film is released. Theaters schedule so-called ghost screenings at midnight, selling tickets at extremely high prices, around 1,000 yuan each. Films that claim massive investments of hundreds of millions, but only earn tens of thousands or a few million, may be indicators of laundering. Likewise, some TV shows claim huge budgets, yet the costumes look cheap and the sets are obviously fake, also raising suspicions. Li Muyang also asserts that the money being washed can come from sources such as human trafficking, illegal trade, corruption, or bribes. Whether the film is good, or whether it sells tickets, he says, is irrelevant. The goal is simply to turn dirty money clean, then pocket it openly. That is why so many people rush into this industry. He claims that if these big fish are not dealt with, the public ultimately bears the cost. In addition, veteran industry figure Song Zhude has spoken publicly about hidden rules in showbiz. Having worked as a director, screenwriter, and actor, he is known for exposing entertainment scandals, earning nicknames such as the Discipline Inspector of the Entertainment Industry. Some online comments describe him as a lone warrior who dares to stare at the bleak truth, face the blood underneath the glamour. He claims that many celebrities allegedly have clear pricing standards for private, off-book services. A popular first-tier actress without children. Attending a private banquet, 500,000 to 2 million yuan. Quick room visit, after dinner, 3 to 5 million yuan. Overnight, 10 to 30 million yuan. Second-tier stars are priced at roughly one-tenth of Tier 1. Third and fourth-tier stars are priced at about half of Tier 2. He claims this explains how many former celebrities with no recent work, no ads, no projects, still live in luxury. They rely on these underground deals. He also mentions pimps or brokers, both male and female, who organize these transactions and take around a 20% commission. Some reportedly became billionaires through this system, though many lost everything due to gambling. The entertainment industry's glamorous facade may conceal filth that the public rarely sees. And as he suggests, that may be why authorities are determined to suppress certain discussions. Because if they cannot, years of hidden power money transactions and illegal behavior might be exposed. Hidden transactions exist in the entertainment industry, but so do public controversies. One well-known example often cited is director Feng Shaogang, sometimes compared online to a Chinese version of Diddy. In 2016, Chinese media and netizens were stirred by claims that Feng Shaogang held a nudity-required audition for the film Youth Fang Hua. According to reports, the audition allegedly took place secretly in a luxury villa and was justified as an artistic sacrifice for the sake of authenticity. Around 50 actresses were said to have been asked to perform dance and acting scenes without clothes in front of dozens of people, including men, while the entire process was recorded as documentation. There were reportedly 6,000 female applicants for the film. With only part of the story exposed, many questioned whether only 50 candidates were involved. When asked why young actresses had to undress, Feng Shaogang remained silent. Industry insiders, however, have long described him as demanding and inappropriate on set. He was also rumored to host exclusive parties where female performers were expected to sing or dance to entertain influential guests—events some netizens mockingly called Feng Shaogang's banquets. In 2018, a video leaked online showing a private drinking party at Feng's home. According to Sina, many well-known industry figures attended, but only two female artists were present—singer Zhang Yan and young actress Miao Miao, who later starred in Youth. After the signing segment, Feng Shaogang demanded that Miao Miao perform a dance to entertain the guests. At first, the young actress hesitated and refused. But surrounded by jeers and pressure from those present, Feng Shaogang forced her to take off her shoes and dance. He even grabbed her hand tightly in a threatening manner. Because her career had been supported by him, Miao Miao did not dare resist and ended up doing what the director asked. The footage shocked Chinese public opinion. Few compared it to ancient court entertainment, where actresses were treated like puppets, serving powerful figures. Another controversy linked Feng Shaogang's name to actress Ren Jiao, who was found dead in October 2017 at age 24. She was discovered unclothed on hotel property. Rumors circulated that Feng was one of two unidentified individuals present, but he paid a large amount of money to settle the matter with the police and avoid involvement in the case. Later, the only person interrogated was actor Yang Xiuwen. The case was officially ruled an alcohol-related accident. Feng was never investigated and no direct evidence ever surfaced publicly. Despite that scandal, and despite being mentioned alongside Fan Bingbing during a major tax evasion case in 2018, Feng Shaogang faced no public prosecution. Many asked how he seemed able to stay untouched. Born in 1958, Feng Shaogang is considered one of the leading figures of China's fifth-generation filmmakers, along with Zhang Yimou and Chen Kaige. At one point, he was nicknamed the Box Office King, producing hits throughout a three-decade career with over 20 successful films and total box office earnings exceeding 5.2 billion yuan. He also has ties to the influential Beijing artistic circle known as Jing Quan, Beijing Circle. Feng was said to have supported former pop star Chris Wu, Wu Yifan, and was rumored to help shield him from allegations for years before Wu was later charged and imprisoned in 2021. Because of that reputation, some believed Feng's influence allowed him to escape scandals himself. TV host Kui Yongyuan once claimed Feng's drawer is full of crimes, though none dares expose them. This environment also sheds light on why many in the industry remain silent about the Yu Menglong incident. Some are simply too familiar with these patterns. Others are too afraid. What do you think?
