Yu Menglong fell from the building and died!
This news began to spread to the Internet in the early morning of September 11, and the property management in the area responded to the media for verification. It was not until the evening that Yu Menglong Studio confirmed the bad news.
This gentle 37-year-old boy is really gone!
Yu Menglong, who was originally supposed to be a good age when the male actor was making efforts, was gradually finding a way out on the road to transformation, was originally thought to be revived, but he couldn't wait for the sunrise on September 11.
Many people may feel the same as Xing Fei's. Initially it was—Hope is fake!
However, as more and more news came, the public voice of the studio finally came, there was only one voice in my heart that was echoing: Good in another world.
I met Yu Menglong for 12 years in a blink of an eye. There are still some fragments about him. I hope to give this distant figure.
01. The shy boy who always stands by
2013 "Happy Boy" is the last game of the "Super Fast Series" on the TV side. Even though it was held again on the Internet side later, it was still nicknamed "The Last Fast Boy" by fans this year.
Shang Wenjie was so in love with Hua Chenyu who was humming that year. Ou Hao became Hai Qing's "god" willing to kneel down, which was the highlight of the talent show.
In order to continue to build the "Quick Boy Castle", Tianyu moved the recording site that was fixed in Changsha World Window for many years to a yard in Shanyingtan on Fuyuan Road, as the group dormitory for the contestants after the finals.
In that dormitory, Yu Menglong is a quiet but heartwarming existence.
Not from a professional background, he worked as a graphic model before participating in the competition. Yu Menglong has a delicate appearance but his singing skills are mediocre. He has participated in "I Style and My Show" and "Happy Boys 2010" and has failed to enter the finals because of his singing skills. Yu Menglong, who was still inadequate at the time, became very popular after being shortlisted in the top ten, but his singing skills are still obvious.
Li Yuchun and Chen Kun both supported him to sing clean and beautiful, but the controversy in the outside world still made him feel a little unconfident. Whenever there was a group interview, he would always silently retreat in front of the camera, and people around him had to pull him forward.
The finals just started, and Yu Menglong became the tenth place that year because he lost to Rao Wei.
He could have gone a little further. If he chose Xiaoqiang, who was average in playing or Yu Tian, who was not prepared enough in the second round, his chances of winning would be much higher. But Yu Menglong seemed soft, but he resolutely chose Rao Wei who was able to play a stable and stable role.
He said, I know who can perform very well, but I think it is unfair to choose him.
Yu Menglong's just now made Hua Chenyu and others unable to help but red their eyes for him. Zhang Yangyang, who also came from Xinjiang, was even a little collapsed, but Yu Menglong showed some ease.
Walking back to the collective dormitory in Shanyingtan, he quietly arranged the gift to other buddies, and the friends who were competing together couldn't help crying.
Although the ranking of "Quick Boy" is mediocre, Yu Menglong's luck is really good. In the depressed era of the music circle, the career plans of talent shows are no longer limited to singing. At that time, Tianyu’s staff and Cherry were sure that Yu Menglong would definitely not be a singer, but he would become famous as long as he met a costume drama.
This statement was quickly fulfilled after the competition. In 2015, a film called "The Promotion of the Crown Princess" became the founder of the online drama. Yu Menglong was not inferior to the male lead because of his role as the Nine Kings Qi Han.
Years of modeling experience have given Yu Menglong a straight figure, and is considered to be a meal replacement in the ancient puppet circle. A year later, he was selected to star in "Three Lives Three Worlds Ten Miles of Peach Blossoms" and became brothers and sisters with Yang Mi. This explosive drama also allowed him to completely break the circle and start the road to becoming a male lead.
The "New Legend of White Snake" with Ju Jingyi, "Whose Youth Is Not Rebellious" with Mao Xiaotong, and "Youth Parabola" with Miaomiao, began in 2017, Yu Menglong entered the outbreak of film and television. His restrained and elegant appearance became an irreplaceable existence. He became a quiet beauty in the early stage of 30 years old, with her pink face everywhere.
As the Tianyu staff said back then, although Yu Menglong's ranking in the competition was not ideal, he quickly found a place in the entertainment industry among the contestants of "Happy Boys" in 2013.
The "fast boy" that year ranked higher than him, but quietly left the public's attention after the game. In 2018, Zuo Li's wedding allowed the former "fast boy" to wear a suit to help, and Yu Menglong was still shyly hiding in the corner and shed tears.
Even though it has become popular, I still get along with my friends from the past sincerely.
02. From the air outlet to the trough
When he was born, his mother was a hard-core Qiong Yao fan, so he used the inspiration of "The Moon and the Birds" to his son's name and named it Yu Menglong.
The name is full of poetry, but Yu Menglong's life in the entertainment industry is not hazy. He turned from the talent show stage and caught up with the hot trend of ancient puppet dramas. He is undoubtedly the lucky one in the wind.
There are always ups and downs in the trend. In 2017, Long Danni, the creator of "Quick Boy" and the helm of Tianyu, officially left, laying the groundwork for the establishment of Wajijiwa, opening another new chapter in domestic entertainment.
Many artists who signed the contract for Tianyu were beginning to be anxious. In 2018, many artists caused a termination of contracts, and Yu Menglong was also found that his social platform had removed the agency.
In the face of media interviews, Yu Menglong did not conceal that there were indeed differences, and said that he had tried many times to discuss long-term plans for artists with the company, but he did not receive a response and hoped to receive effective communication.
In the end, Yu Menglong and other "fast boys" did not have the storm of termination of contracts before Zhou Bichang, Chen Chusheng and others. In the end, their cooperation was not considered to be going their separate ways until the agreement ended in 2021.
Yu Menglong opened his personal studio in those years and had more autonomy in work planning. However, due to the replacement of the work team and other reasons, his career that had been going on all the way also had a long stagnation period after the contract ended.
In 2020, Yu Menglong experienced eye injuries twice during the filming of "Two Lifes" and in 2021, and film and television works also began to gradually reduce production, which once attracted the saying "hidden".
After the cooperation with Tianyu, Yu Menglong entered a period of solo development, and he did not openly sign a new employer.
After just solo, he encountered the changes in the industry trend and changed his new work team, Yu Menglong gradually turned his focus on film and television to variety shows and evening parties. He opened his voice at CCTV's New Year's Eve Gala for two consecutive years, and also appeared on the stage of the Xinjiang branch venue with Dilraba Dilraba, Aire and others on the 2024 Spring Festival Gala.
In addition, Yu Menglong also collaborated with Song Yanfei in "Wendrela Diary" and "A Umbrella Smoky Rain" with Li Zixuan, and starred in works such as "Eternal Night Starry River" and "Linjiangxian".
At present, Yu Menglong's works to be broadcast include "The Wind Rises in the Desert" (formerly known as "Huo Qubing"), and "The Knights Can't Work" and "Long Night Walk" that are collaborating with Zhang Ruoyun.
The new program he originally participated in was originally scheduled to be aired on the evening of September 12.
Yu Menglong actually walked smoothly on the road of transformation. When the younger generations were in a rush, he could not say that he was in the state of "shen Yin" in the entertainment industry, but he was gradually changing a track.
A person in the circle who has worked with Yu Menglong said that Yu Menglong has indeed been a little anxious in recent years. "The competition in the entertainment industry is in a hurry, and so many new generations of young students are emerging one after another, so it is normal to have pressure. In fact, seeing his condition this year, we thought he had already gotten out of emotional misunderstandings."
03. Survive the trough but can't wait for the sunrise
It cannot be denied that before 2020, Yu Menglong's first seven years of debut continued to occupy absolute good luck. In the following years, although it cannot be said that it continues to explode, it is actually a turning point that many actors will face after they are thirty.
The fluctuations in life are common, but people in it are often more likely to be sensitive.
Yu Menglong mentioned the trough he encountered in a former interview. He admitted that he would be depressed and unhappy, and would also think about whether he was suitable for the entertainment industry.
He also tried hard to save himself, and he would face his persistence in his work in his heart. After a night of sleep, he would feel happy when he saw the sun on the next day, and he would try to let go of those doubts and encourage himself that nothing was wrong.
Since his debut, Yu Menglong has not lacked doubts. His acting skills have been accused of being stiff. He was ridiculed for singing and dancing and suspected of "swimming". However, Yu Menglong has indeed tried hard to face it and is considered unsuitable for singing, but he will still prepare an album after acting out of the circle. In recent years, he has also worked hard to perform at various evening parties.
In 2024, Yu Menglong participated in a stage play for the first time and starred in the Chinese drama version of "Parasite". He was so nervous that he was trembling all over when he appeared on the stage. For non-professional actors, he must break out of the film and television performance mode that he had finally learned and strive to step out of his comfort zone.
Wu Yue, who played against Yu Menglong, also affirmed that he was indeed very attentive, and that he could see the energy that hoped to rise.
Before Yu Menglong had an accident, on the evening of September 10, he quietly logged into his social platform account at 21:35. He originally had a new program live broadcast to participate in the live broadcast. His career plan was very clear and he was gradually getting out of the trough he thought.
But this Gemini boy is destined to be multifaceted, just like he always looks quiet, but his heart is actually ups and downs.
Just like in the years he was an actor, many voices have pointed out that he has no appearance. In fact, he has a lot of talent. In addition to being an actor, singer, or director, he directed music videos by many singers such as Ding Shuang before his debut, and he directed his music videos himself.
I just endured so many twists and turns, but I chose to give up this time.
We cannot know what kind of mental journey Yu Menglong, who has worked hard to save himself, has experienced this night. He has long known that he can get happiness from the next sunrise, and this time he can't wait for another sunrise. After entering the room in the early morning, he fell down a tall building.
If possible, I really want to tell Yu Menglong that there will be sunrise at 5:52 Beijing on September 11, and the sunshine in early autumn is very bright. If you wait a little longer, you may have different ideas.
I'm sorry, the sun is still shining, but you choose to go away this time.
But thank you for leaving us such a warm and eternal impression.
