Internet Horrified by Alleged ‘Blood Ritual’ Caught on Camera at Celebrity Party

Published on October 21, 2025

Introduction

When footage of a celebrity birthday party surfaces online, it usually includes balloons, toasts, and awkward karaoke clips. But the leaked video from Yu Menglong’s manager’s birthday celebration was anything but typical.

In what is now being dubbed the “Blood Ritual Video,” an 87-second clip anonymously uploaded to a private Discord server — and later mirrored across TikTok and Weibo — shows what appears to be a ritualistic scene involving fire, red liquid, chanting, and multiple C-list celebrities. Most disturbing of all is the appearance of a masked figure resembling Yu Menglong, seemingly dazed and unwilling.

At first dismissed as a hoax or art performance, the video has since prompted online panic, analysis, and even police scrutiny. Was this a satanic joke gone wrong, a staged performance, or something far more sinister?

In this exclusive deep-dive, we dissect the video, trace its origins, review eyewitness accounts, explore occult symbolism in Chinese celebrity culture, and investigate whether this shocking event is an isolated oddity — or a symptom of a darker subculture embedded in the entertainment elite.

1. The Leaked Video: What’s Actually in the Footage?

The viral video, initially titled “红血仪式 / Red Blood Ritual”, was first posted in a locked thread on a Discord community for Asian entertainment leaks. Within hours, it was reposted with English subtitles to TikTok, X (formerly Twitter), and Weibo.

Key Moments in the Video:

0:03 – Camera shows a circular arrangement of people in black robes, standing around a reflective black stone basin.
0:11 – A man matching Yu Menglong’s build and hairstyle is seen being led blindfolded into the circle.
0:20 – A woman reads a text in archaic Chinese, mentioning “rebirth,” “sacrifice,” and “devotion to light through blood.”
0:39 – Red liquid is poured over the head of the blindfolded man.
0:52 – One person begins screaming uncontrollably before being dragged away.
1:06 – The man believed to be Yu removes the blindfold and appears to mouth the words “I want to leave.”
1:20 – The video cuts out with an abrupt flash and distortion.

Multiple video experts have stated that the footage shows no signs of digital tampering, though the origin remains unverifiable.

2. Who Is Yu Menglong’s Manager — and Why Is He Feared?

The birthday event was allegedly hosted by He Lin (贺麟), a powerful talent manager and co-founder of Tianyu Media, which manages over 30 Tier-A celebrities.

Known for being ruthless, elusive, and fiercely protective of his clients, He Lin has been rumored for years to be part of an underground circle that mixes elite business networking with esoteric rituals.

Insiders describe him as:

“Charismatic, but cold”
“Obsessed with image control”
“Someone you never say no to — especially if you’re a rising star”

Whispers about his influence over young male actors, especially those under 30, have circulated for years. The “ritual video,” if real, may lend terrifying credibility to what many dismissed as gossip.

3. Identifying the Celebrities in Attendance

Several netizens have worked frame-by-frame to identify other figures in the video. Though the footage is low-light and blurry, the following alleged identities have surfaced:

A female singer resembling Li Jialing, seen wearing distinctive silver earrings from her last music video.
A man with a tattoo matching that of Chen Zhuo, a model-turned-actor.
A masked woman holding what appears to be a dagger—possibly actress Gao Lin, based on voice and body posture.

When questioned on Weibo, none of the suspected celebrities denied being at the event. Instead, most deleted their accounts temporarily or turned off commenting.

4. The Setting: A Luxury Villa or Secret Society Temple?

Location analysis by armchair investigators revealed architectural features in the video that match a known private estate in the Mentougou District, often rented for film wrap parties.

However, locals in that area claim the villa was purchased in 2021 by an “unnamed media conglomerate” and has since been under 24-hour private security.

Satellite imagery shows multiple underground entrances and at least two sealed structures behind the main house, suggesting the possibility of subterranean rooms — consistent with the rumors of underground rituals.

Is this just paranoia? Or is someone working very hard to keep something buried?

5. Analysis of the “Blood Ritual” Symbols

Experts in symbolism, including religious studies professor Dr. Ling Yao, analyzed the ritual in the video and found disturbing correlations:

The circle and black stone basin match symbols used in Tibetan exorcism rites — but corrupted.
The text read aloud resembles Daoist incantations mixed with Western ceremonial magic.
The “blood” pouring is consistent with mock sacrifice rituals used in both pagan rites and certain elite secret societies.

Dr. Ling warns:

“This may not be a literal cult in the traditional sense, but it’s a highly constructed symbolic system designed to enforce hierarchy, obedience, and psychological dominance.”

6. The Role of Yu Menglong: Willing Participant or Victim?

Arguably the most unsettling aspect of the video is the presence of a man resembling Yu Menglong, silent, blindfolded, and drenched in red liquid. His body language — slumped shoulders, hesitant steps, avoidance of eye contact — paints the picture of someone not in control.

At timestamp 1:06, just before the camera cuts out, the figure appears to mouth, “我要离开 (I want to leave).” Lip readers and fans confirm the match.

This begs a chilling question:
Was Yu Menglong coerced into participating in a symbolic or psychological ritual — under the control of his own manager?

Several entertainment industry insiders have spoken anonymously, hinting at the use of emotional coercion, non-disclosure agreements, and career sabotage threats in these elite circles:

“If you say no, you don’t work again. It’s that simple.”

Yu has not responded publicly to the video. His studio released a single line on October 10, 2025:
“All rumors are baseless. Mr. Yu is resting abroad.”

7. Historical Context: Ritual Accusations in Chinese Showbiz

This isn’t the first time China’s entertainment industry has been linked to occultism, black magic, or elite rituals. Though most claims have been unverified, their persistence in cultural discourse is notable.

Past Allegations:

2009: Pop singer Tao Le was rumored to have joined a “spirit-binding ceremony” to secure chart success.
2017: Director Zhou Lin was accused of forcing actors to undergo “ancestral offerings” before shooting.
2021: Several actresses claimed their contracts included “loyalty rites” — including blood signatures.

In traditional Chinese folklore, blood oaths, karmic manipulation, and ancestral appeasement were often associated with fame and fortune. In modern form, these rituals may serve as tools of psychological control and elitism rather than true spirituality.

8. Fan Theories and Wild Speculation: Occult, Mind Control, or Publicity Stunt?

The internet has done what it always does — explode into analysis, theories, and chaotic creativity.

Leading Theories:

Occult Control Theory: The ritual is part of a long-running, secret society within Beijing’s entertainment elite that uses ritual humiliation to break and own young stars.
MK-Ultra Parallel: Inspired by the West’s fascination with celebrity mind control (à la Britney Spears and Kanye West), some believe Yu is under psychological reprogramming.
PR Gone Wrong: A few suggest this was an “edgy rebranding” stunt for Yu Menglong or Tianyu Media that backfired horrifically.
AI Deepfake: Skeptics claim the video may be AI-generated, using Yu’s face and voice patterns. However, forensic analysis shows no significant signs of tampering.

Regardless of the theory, the fact remains: no one involved has denied it outright.

9. Industry Silence: Why No One Is Speaking Out

As calls grow for an official investigation, the industry’s top players remain eerily silent.

Tianyu Media: No comment beyond a generic Weibo post.
Celebrities allegedly in the video: Social media locked or wiped.
Mainstream media: No coverage. Total blackout.

This silence is telling. In an industry known for gossip, leaks, and reputation management, the total shutdown suggests:

Legal threats have been issued

, or

The people involved are untouchable.

An anonymous PR executive revealed:

“This isn’t just about Yu Menglong anymore. There are bigger names. If this gets exposed fully, careers will end — and so will some very powerful relationships.”

10. Legal and Social Fallout: What Happens Next?

Despite police denying any official investigation, several lawyers and human rights groups have quietly expressed concern.

Digital Rights Watch China is calling for facial recognition analysis to confirm identities in the video.
Beijing Cultural Ethics Board has declined to comment but reportedly held an emergency closed meeting on October 15.
Fans have begun crowdfunding for independent analysis and whistleblower protection, though many campaigns are swiftly removed from Chinese platforms.

Culturally, this video has pierced something deeper. Beyond just celebrity gossip, it has exposed:

The lack of transparency in talent management.
The vulnerability of stars under exclusive contracts.
The grotesque blending of power, fame, fear — and possibly, ritual.

Whether this scandal fizzles out or triggers a reckoning, the world has already seen something it can’t unsee.

Conclusion

What began as a bizarre video leak has unraveled into a deeply disturbing conversation about power, control, and darkness in the entertainment world.

The “Blood Ritual” may be a one-off incident. Or it may be a glimpse into an elite system built on manipulation, forced submission, and psychological domination — all hidden behind beautiful faces and glowing lights.

Yu Menglong — once a symbol of innocence and grace — is now at the center of a cultural earthquake. Whether he was victim or willing participant, his silence speaks volumes.

And as the world watches, one terrifying thought lingers:
