The source of the public opinion storm in the entertainment industry is Zhang Yuqi's "story sharing" in a talk show, from Zhang Yuqi's obscure revelations to the in-depth excavation of netizens, and then to all parties standing up to clarify and counterattack, the context of the incident is gradually clear.
Did Yu Shi really split his legs during a relationship? Are Zhang Yuqi's accusations true? And is the rumored "eldest sister" Hua Zhen really the key figure in the incident as netizens said?
Zhang Yuqi's vague revelations
On September 10, 2023, when Zhang Yuqi participated in a talk show, she shared her past story for the first time through a "friend's story".
She described the story of a "Shandong friend" and a "little brother" who fell in love and found each other stepping on two boats, although she did not name them, but attentive viewers quickly found clues from her description.
In the show, Zhang Yuqi skillfully uses the word "then", which sounds like she is alluding to "Yu Shi" with homonyms, and she also mentions the details of "splitting legs on horseback", and Yu Shi is famous for his horse archery sport, this description is almost a direct allusion to him.
In addition, Zhang Yuqi also mentioned the strong body shape and chest muscles of the "little brother", which further deepened the audience's association, and she even joked: "You are my second sister", which is obviously referring to the "little brother's" infidelity to feelings.
This vague but straightforward statement immediately sparked heated discussions on the Internet, and netizens generally speculated that the "little brother" Zhang Yuqi was referring to was Yu Shi, and this "friend's story" was actually her own emotional experience.
In stark contrast to Zhang Yuqi's revelations, Yu Shi's career is at its peak, and in July 2023, the movie "Fengshen" will be released, and Yu Shi will become an instant hit with the role of "Ji Fa" and quickly become a first-line star.
At the same time, he was also appointed as the deputy director of the China Mounted Archery Sports Center, becoming the focus of public attention, handsome appearance, superb riding and archery skills and excellent acting skills, making him the darling of many brand endorsements for a while.
As early as May 2022, Zhang Yuqi and Yu Shi's relationship was photographed by the paparazzi, at that time, the two were photographed behaving very close on a date, and the relationship seemed to be going well.
As Yu Shi's fame gradually climbs, there are more and more rumors about his love life, and in August 2023, the media took photos of Yu Shi dating a mysterious woman again, which made the outside world start to speculate whether he and Zhang Yuqi have broken up. At this time, Zhang Yuqi's revelations on the talk show undoubtedly further confirmed the breakdown of the relationship between the two.
Yu Shi's multiple romances were dug up
The "eldest sister" mentioned by Zhang Yuqi in the show, it didn't take long for netizens to lock on a target - Hua Zhen, vice chairman of Sotheby's Asia, Hua Zhen is not only worth a lot of money, but has also been photographed by the media many times in public with Yu Shi in the same frame.
Especially during the filming of the movie "My Altay", Hua Zhen was also found to have visited Yu Shi on the set, which made the relationship between the two even more intriguing.
Although Hua Zhen had previously publicly responded to the scandal with Yu Shi, emphasizing that the two were just friends, with Zhang Yuqi's revelations, netizens almost decided that she was the "eldest sister" in Zhang Yuqi's mouth.
In particular, the details of "splitting legs on horseback" mentioned by Zhang Yuqi are also reminiscent of the photos of Hua Zhen and Yu Shi appearing together in the riding and archery activities.
With the fermentation of public opinion, netizens began to further dig into Yu Shi's relationship history, it is reported that in addition to Zhang Yuqi and Hua Zhen, Yu Shi has also had scandals with many women, including Internet celebrity Yomi Meimei, makeup artist Cao Yingxin and Xia Meng in the training camp.
Yu Shi has been photographed many times maintaining intimate relationships with different women at the same time, leaving people with the impression of "flower heart".
Especially in 2019, Cao Yingxin chose to break up because he suspected Yu Shi of splitting his legs, and soon after the breakup, the media photographed Yu Shi and Zhang Yuqi dating.
This has caused a lot of speculation about his private life from the outside world, and under the superposition of multiple relationships, Yu Shi's love life seems very chaotic, and netizens have complained that he has stepped on multiple boats and questioned his loyalty.
Zhang Yuqi was turned over old accounts
At the same time, Ge Xiaoqian, the ex-wife of Zhang Yuqi's ex-husband Yuan Bayuan, also stood up and accused Zhang Yuqi of not being a "victim", but meddling in her marriage with Yuan Bayuan.
Ge Xiaoqian said on social media that Zhang Yuqi had illegally broken into her home, and said that she had surveillance footage and video recordings that could prove Zhang Yuqi's misconduct.
Zhang Yuqi, who originally had the upper hand in public opinion, suddenly fell into a passive situation, and netizens began to question whether she had also played a disgraceful role in her relationship, thinking that her moral stance with Yu Shi may be "half a catty".
In the face of Ge Xiaoqian's accusations, Zhang Yuqi's agent quickly stood up to clarify for her, and the agent posted the chat records between Zhang Yuqi and Yuan Bayuan, trying to prove that when Zhang Yuqi and Yuan Bayuan were together, Yuan Bayuan and Ge Xiaoqian had already broken up.
The agent also emphasized that Yuan Bayuan and Ge Xiaoqian did not have a legal marriage relationship at that time, and Ge Xiaoqian could not be regarded as Yuan Bayuan's "ex-wife".
Although the agent's clarification has calmed some doubts to a certain extent, many netizens are still skeptical, they believe that since Ge Xiaoqian dared to publicly accuse Zhang Yuqi, she must have more unexposed evidence, and the truth of the incident does not seem to be as simple as the agent said.
So far, among the key parties to the incident, except for Zhang Yuqi, Yu Shi and Hua Zhen have not responded positively. Ge Xiaoqian claimed that she had more evidence in her hands, but this evidence has not yet been fully made public, and the incident is still in the stage of continuous fermentation.
This entertainment turmoil started with Zhang Yuqi's "story" and gradually developed into a public opinion war involving many public figures. As netizens gradually dug up more about Yu Shi's relationship history, especially his relationship with the rich woman Hua Zhen, the incident once became the focus of public opinion.
With Ge Xiaoqian's accusation, Zhang Yuqi, who was originally regarded as a "victim", also fell into controversy, and her past with Yuan Bayuan was re-raised, and she was even accused of meddling in other people's feelings.
At present, the incident has not yet settled, and there are still many unresolved questions about the emotional entanglement between Zhang Yuqi and Yu Shi. As more evidence comes to light, there may be new developments in the incident.
