Yu Menglong's ‘Slave Contract’ Leaked! Kris Wu Dead? Aging Stars Suddenly Turn Young

The hashtag ChrisWuIsDead exploded in early November, sparking a wave of theories about the suspicious death of the former global superstar, ranging from abuse, hunger strike, to being silenced to cover up the Yu Menglong case. At the same time, Yu Menglong's slave contract with Tianyu Media was leaked, revealing a set of unacceptable terms that expose the dark side of the entertainment industry, where artists are treated as mere pawns. Meanwhile, the sudden rejuvenation of stars like Jet Li and Meeping has led the public to wonder, is there a secret immortality industry reserved only for the elite and those in power? Let's find out today. On November 1st, many Weibo accounts posted under the hashtag ChrisWuIsDead, sparking rumors that the Canadian artist had died in prison. Soon after, social media and several Taiwanese news outlets began spreading the story of Chris Wu's death. The rumor was said to have come from someone claiming to be Wu's cellmate, who said that a few days earlier, Wu had been questioned by the police for unknown reasons, and then suddenly died. Some claimed Wu died after a long hunger strike, while others said he was beaten to death in prison. There were also people who connected this news to the Chow Renliang case. After Yu Menglong's death, many suspicious details led the public to believe his case was far from simple. People began revisiting the Chow Renliang case. His death was also full of unanswered questions. Although authorities said he took his own life due to depression, an online list of 28 people present that night included several big names, among them Chris Wu. Some people on that list, such as Zhao Yingjun, Ben Shi, and Liu Jiarong, have also died. Some sources said most of the artists didn't know what kind of party it was. When they arrived, they discovered it involved violence against Chow Renliang. During the incident, because Wong Sikong was reportedly too brutal, a few artists tried to stop him but didn't dare to leave, fearing the power behind him. They were forced to witness the entire horrific torture. After Yu Menglong's death, a series of dark secrets from the government and entertainment industry began to surface. Since Chris Wu was on that list, many believe he might have been silenced. However, this information has not been confirmed by the Chinese authorities. It's only spreading on overseas social media, while within China, there's complete silence, which is indeed strange. This isn't the first time Chris Wu has been rumored to be dead. Since going to prison in 2021, there have been at least five rounds of such rumors. The most recent was in April this year, saying he died from a conflict in prison, but it was never confirmed. That's why I think this is a tactic used by internet trolls to distract public attention and reduce the heat surrounding the Yu Menglong case. Why do I say that? First, one netizen said that many paid commenters don't want to waste their own accounts or risk being traced, so they hire others to post for them, offering around 50 yuan per task, keeping 10 yuan for the poster, and pocketing the rest. This netizen asked a friend to infiltrate a troll group as a spy to learn about the market. Trolls who engage in manual interactions can take on core tasks like posting, commenting, or attacking others. Each comment pays 2 to 8 yuan. If there are many back and forth replies, it's 2 to 5 yuan per comment. Smaller volumes get 8 yuan each. If someone refuses to continue because of online attacks or reports, the rate increases to 10 to 15 yuan per comment. Posting on foreign platforms earns 20 to 50 yuan per post. Accounts with many followers can charge 100 to 500 yuan per post. Screenshots showed that the spy couldn't take it anymore. After 6 days, he quit. But in those few days of cursing Lin Beichuan online, he made 4,995 yuan, about 900 yuan a day. There are troll accounts that stay online almost 24-7, doing nothing but hurling insults at Beichuan. These days, getting paid to attack Beichuan pays the most. With China's collapsing economy and jobs hard to find, earning that much just for selling your conscience to curse others is too tempting. It's no wonder these immoral internet trolls flood the web with bizarre rumors. Second, some sources said that Chris Wu in prison was completely different from what people imagined. Everyone thought he looked disheveled, thin, and miserable. But surprisingly, he looked gentle and even chubby. The person who posted the photo said Wu was very laid back in prison and had even gained 20 pounds since he was well cared for, with two assistants helping with meals, laundry, cooking, and dishes. If he really paid for special treatment and had his own kitchen, he might even get to watch TV, go online, write songs, and perform for other inmates. Would someone living like that want to die? I once made a program about Chris Wu. His fall from grace was actually because the people protecting him couldn't hold on anymore. There were signs of factional struggles behind the scenes. But he himself also had many scandals and an unhealthy lifestyle. Some even revealed that Chris Wu got involved with a high-ranking official's woman, which forced the authorities to deal with him. That official must have been powerful enough to counterbalance people like Jackie Chan and Hawaii Brothers. To this day, no one knows who it was. Still, one thing stands out. Like Yu Menglong, Chris Wu's incident also happened in Chaoyang District, Beijing. After Chris Wu went to prison, almost all news about him became classified. As some media said, confidential down to the household level. His name has even become a banned keyword on Chinese social media. Yet there are key differences. Unlike Yu Menglong, Chris Wu had countless romantic scandals and grudges, and when he debuted in China, he was backed by powerful forces. Yu Menglong, on the other hand, was completely clean, talented but constantly exploited and deceived by his management company, Yu Menglong's slave contract. A netizen revealed that during a film shoot, Yu Menglong once fell from a third-floor height when his safety harness snapped, leaving him with multiple fractures all over his body. In the entertainment industry, a micropressure wire refers to the cables used to suspend actors during fantasy or martial arts scenes involving flight. When such a wire breaks, usually from overload or mishandling, it can be life-threatening. Yet Tianyu Media initially claimed Yu Menglong was uninjured, and only after a leaked video surfaced did the company admit the truth about his condition. Even then, they showed a striking level of coldness and indifference in managing his fan community. Typically, after debuting, every star has an official fan club formed by supporters to promote their image and activities, a normal part of the entertainment world. But Yu Menglong's case was completely different. On January 6, 2018, his global official fan club announced its permanent closure, and all related local fan clubs were dissolved. According to sources, Yu Menglong's studio, after two years of cooperation, claimed it could no longer control the fan club and went so far as to deny its existence, labeling it a fake organization. In reality, the fan club had been founded before Yu Menglong's studio even existed. As I've mentioned before, both studios operating under Yu Menglong's name were actually registered by Tianyu Media for the purpose of money laundering. The reason Tianyu Media dared to treat Yu Menglong this way was that he had signed a contract he never should have signed. According to journalist Li Muyong, not long ago, Qi Lili, a female director in Beijing who was allegedly targeted and attacked multiple times by Tianyu Media, leaked a copy of the company's real contract. Although the document claimed to be fair, voluntary, and honest, meant to help artists develop, anyone who signed it was effectively under Tianyu Media's complete control, stripped of all personal freedom. Qi Lili highlighted several key clauses in red. In the contract, Party A is Tianyu Media, represented by its current general manager Shen Yadong. Until August 13, Shen also served as vice president of Mango Supermedia, participating in strategic planning and daily operations. Party B is the artist, in this case, Yu Menglong. Clause 3.1.3 states, After the contract expires, Party A retains the right to continue using Party B's real name, stage name, likeness, photograph, signature, voice and biography for its own publicity, provided such use is not for direct profit. Clause 3.1.10 states, During the cooperation period, all of Party B's work achievements and rights worldwide are irrevocable, and shall permanently and exclusively belong to Party A, or a third party designated by Party A. Party A may transfer or authorize these rights to any third party, while Party B may not. These rights remain valid indefinitely, and are not affected by the termination or expiration of the contract. Party B must also cooperate fully with Party A's requests. Clause 3.1.20 allows Tianyu Media to open and manage social media accounts on the artist's behalf. All rights and revenues from these accounts belong permanently to Party A. Clause 3.1.21 gives Tianyu Media the right to monitor all of Party B's artistic activities. If the artist misreports or conceals income, they must pay triple damages. If no specific income amount can be determined, the compensation is calculated as three times the artist's highest monthly income after the contract was signed. Moreover, Tianyu Media has the unilateral right to terminate the contract at any time. Clause 3.2.11 requires the artist to cooperate fully with all of Tianyu Media's work arrangements, whether paid or unpaid, with no right to refuse or object. Clauses 4.2.1 and 4.2.2 stipulate the profit-sharing ratio. Party A takes 70%, and Party B, the artist, receives only 30%. As for breach of contract, if Party B requests to terminate or cancel the agreement, or if Party A cancels due to Party B's fault, Party B must compensate Party A using the following formula. The highest monthly income within the past 12 months cums 12 months, number of remaining contract years, cus project penalty coefficient, all payable in one lump sum. If this still fails to cover additional losses, the artist must continue compensating. This contract imposes every possible restriction on the artist, while Tianyu Media itself bears no obligations or limits. Utterly unjust. For the artist, it is essentially a body-selling pact. Once signed, they become a slave or prisoner of Tianyu Media, forced to endure blatant exploitation. In other words, the company can do whatever it wants, and the artist has no right to refuse. Otherwise, they face an enormous penalty. How much are we talking about? Please note that, their calculation method isn't addition, it's multiplication. According to journalist Li Muyang, let's assume the artist's highest monthly income in the past year was only 20,000 yuan. In reality, it's much higher. Multiply that by 12 months, 240,000 yuan per year. If two years remain on the contract, that's 480,000 yuan. And adding a 200,000 yuan project penalty, the artist would owe at least 144,000,000 yuan in total compensation to Tianyu Media. Not long ago, someone overseas who called Yu Menglong his younger brother, revealed that Yu couldn't leave Tianyu Media simply because he couldn't afford the massive penalty. That person claimed Yu's compensation reached 200,000,000 yuan, 27.5 million USD. Looking back at Tianyu Media's contract formula, is such a figure possible? I believe it absolutely is. Aging stars suddenly turn young again? Phoenix Net reported that on November 6, veteran TV host Ni Ping appeared in Lushan, looking dramatically different from before. Slimmer, more radiant, with fewer wrinkles and the energy of someone in her 30s or 40s. In the video, the 66-year-old beamed with excitement. Do you know where I am? Lushan. Can you believe it? I climbed all the way up. I'm quite proud of myself. Her sudden youthful look shocked many. Not long ago, Ni Ping's aging was obvious. She often needed help walking on set. One story from Sina 13 years ago even described a market vendor grabbing her hand and asking tearfully, Are you Ni Ping? Why do you look so old? Are you not living well? But Ni Ping isn't alone. Jet Li and Sammo Hung have also shown surprising signs of rejuvenation. Jet Li's transformation is the most striking, while Sammo Hung, once confined to a wheelchair, now walks unaided, his eyes sharp, his appetite strong, and his punches fierce. The frequent public appearances of these younger stars have sparked speculation. A longtime media insider suggested their new videos may be a form of covert advertising, implying that Jet Li, Sammo Hung, and Ni Ping are secretly promoting something. Previously, there had been rumors that Jet Li had received a heart transplant from the martial monk Chiu Feng, but now many netizens who rewatched his last trip to Tibet, where he behaved unusually energetically and even childishly, are voicing a different kind of suspicion. Some said, If a man in his 60s suddenly starts acting cute and playful like a 16-year-old girl, doesn't that seem strange? In the video, Jet Li sometimes appeared commanding and dignified, then suddenly gentle and bashful, like a little girl. A man in white, apparently his assistant, tried to hold his hand to restrain him, but Jet Li continued unconsciously posing in feminine gestures. Some speculate that this could be the effect of a mysterious implanted device that alters behavior. Recently, the YouTube channel Taoist Shanyun released a video claiming to expose the truth behind Jet Li's rejuvenation. According to it, Before the procedure, Jet Li was in a luxurious private room, signing what appeared to be an agreement with a stern man dressed in black. That man allegedly wanted Jet Li, after recovering, to appear more frequently in public and use his fame to help promote that mysterious industry, drawing in more high-profile clients. Could this be true? Is it connected to the rumored Project 981, once said to be an exclusive health program for top officials, now extending to celebrities? Share your thoughts in the comments below.
