[People News] Following the Yu Menglong incident, the Chinese Communist authorities have imposed a ban on him, while netizens have responded by boycotting entertainment. The once-thriving mainland entertainment industry is now in disarray.
On November 5, Mango Super Media continued its downward trend, dropping another 3.78%, making it the worst-performing stock in the digital media sector. The mainland film industry is also in a state of total collapse! The film "Blooming Towards the Light" earned over four million in its first week, while "A Clear Morning" managed just over one million in the same timeframe. "The Next Tailor" earned over four million in six days. The most dismal performance came from the film "Spark," featuring Tian Hairong, which only grossed over fifty thousand in fifteen days! Even the suspense film "The Mountain Shining Incident," starring the actor known for his hundred million earnings, Xiao Shenyang, had a pre-sale box office of only sixty thousand before its release, despite an investment of one hundred million, with no prospect of breaking even.
On November 3, the "2025 Weibo Vision Conference" took place in Beijing, where the live broadcast was overwhelmed by comments about "Yu Menglong," as netizens rallied for justice on his behalf.
In reality, the mainland public has been deeply disappointed with domestic entertainment for quite some time. Issues such as capital manipulation, regulatory failures, deceptive promotions, and a flood of poor-quality dramas and films have become commonplace. Stars often remain silent when controversies arise, failing to speak out, and only emerge to "call for support for domestic films" when they have new projects to promote. The uproar surrounding the Yu Menglong case has become the final straw for the domestic entertainment industry, with netizens remarking, "Water can carry a boat, but it can also capsize it," and "We can elevate Nezha to the global rankings, and we can also plunge the entertainment industry into a winter period."
Lin Beichuan, a military descendant who has been speaking out for Yu Menglong, is in danger. On November 3, Lin Beichuan posted that he went to the Sunshine Shangdong Community to meet some friends. He later added, 'I didn't come by myself; it's inconvenient to say more. I've already checked and can post.'
Netizens have been anxiously awaiting news of his safety. On November 4, Beixing Qiye, the netizen who had the most contact with Lin Beichuan, shared a QQ message from Lin, stating, 'All suspects are reporting to the police at the same time, claiming I am spreading rumours. Please do not send me private messages, remember that.'
On the same day, Beixing Qiye posted again, saying, 'They are focusing their attacks and resisting Beichuan, and it has never been about targeting him personally, but rather the group he represents.'
On November 5, Beixing Qiye posted again, stating, 'Chuan has already dropped out of school, which should be temporary. I haven't been able to contact him directly, but I have spoken to his school teacher.' He later added, 'Don't panic, stay calm, let's focus on our own matters, keep the main line, and ignore the rest; he should not be able to leave on November 6.'
Netizens speculated that they have captured Lin Beichuan and are now checking his contacts to see who has communicated with him the most and who has sent him private messages, using this information to force them to sign. They warned against sending private messages to Lin Beichuan. The Chinese Communist Party is likely to initiate a second 'clearing' operation, and Lin Beichuan may become a scapegoat.
Furthermore, some mainland netizens reported that on the external platform Threads, a streamer revealed personal information of 6 out of 17 individuals on November 4, including phone numbers and addresses. These screenshots are expected to circulate on various platforms and comment sections within the Great Firewall soon.
Recently, some netizens issued an urgent alert, stating that the information circulating is quite mixed and that the other party is resorting to tricks again, so they advise against making those calls. They cautioned that all phones and mobile devices within the firewall are registered under real names, and as soon as you make a call, a certain department will track you down. The team behind the host, E Zhu Bo (É Zhǔ Bō), encourages people to make these calls, as an increase in callers could provide a pretext to label someone and tarnish their reputation. 'We can't assist him, but at least we shouldn't cause him trouble.'
In response, netizens remarked: 'Pigeon post, writing on the phone, the little fish is fundamental. We will quietly refrain from watching movies, TV dramas, concerts, buying things, or subscribing to services. We have no such demands; we only seek the truth. We will endure this and see who can last longer.'
Others noted that the other party employs various tactics to make us believe we are few in number, which ironically proves that there are so many of us that they can no longer suppress us. We are incredibly strong this time; who do they think they are fooling?' Despite sensing that another storm is on the horizon, netizens remain committed to their three old strategies: writing letters, keeping the momentum alive, and tightening their purse strings! Let them run out of resources!
Although the path ahead is challenging, netizens conveyed that they are not holding on for a specific outcome, but rather for a sense of order, a principle, and a bottom line. When the entire system is compelled to confront that overlooked corner due to everyone's determination, regardless of the final outcome, we have already won the most crucial battle; we have demonstrated that every life deserves to be treated with seriousness.
