On June 26, 2024, "The Face on the Moon" will officially launch.

Jia Li said in July that in 2019 she created the novel "Master Yushi, Don't Chase Me" on the iQiyi novel platform. In 2020, my novel was selected into the tenth issue of the Yunteng Project and was selected by Fast Forward The cultural company won the bid. This was Jia Li's first film and television work in July. She was also very excited. However, things did not develop smoothly. From 2020 to 2021, after the news of the drama finally came out, the film crew also opened Weibo to start promoting it. The title of the drama was changed to "The Face on the Moon", and the background image of the crew of "The Face on the Moon" was launched "Yunteng Project" was also written in the text. "I asked my editor and confirmed that it is an adaptation of my novel Yunteng Project."

Two years passed after the filming of the series started. The series entered the planning stage for online broadcast. At this time, Jiali received a notice in July that the film crew had changed their minds before the broadcast and was unwilling to follow the Yunteng plan. Share, if you want to change it to buy IP at a fixed price, "Yunteng plan is a split-account sharing model. You can understand that if the drama becomes popular after it is broadcast, then the profit will be shared by the film owner, the author and the novel platform simultaneously. But buying out the IP is Whatever the producer says is a fixed price, no matter how much profit the subsequent drama will receive, it has nothing to do with the novel platform or the author. "Jia Li told reporters in July that she thought she was a nobody at that time. A well-known young author, and the other party is a big-budget drama. If the drama breaks out, he may not want to give so much money to the young author. "I have no choice but to agree." However, the copyright that should have been settled before the broadcast started The fee has not yet been settled to Jia Li Qiyue, "Seeing that the film crew insisted on dragging it out and refused to pay me, I was so broken that I posted a painful post on WeChat. This post was accidentally discovered by the film crew, and the film crew finally said that they were afraid of the impact. Because of the ratings, he promised to give away part of the copyright fee. As for the second half, he said it would be done as soon as possible. "At present, Jia Li received the first payment in July, but did not receive the remaining payment. She asked many times before the show was broadcast, but she asked. No royalties were ever received. "In a word, I don't have money to pay the copyright fees for the remaining novels." After the episode was aired on June 26, Jia Li discovered in July that the title of "The Face on the Moon" no longer had the original title, and after asking the film crew, he got The reply was "Since the Yunteng plan has been changed to directly buying out the IP, which our screenwriter has adapted, we will not give the author the right to authorize the novel, but only pay the copyright fee."

"Since the other party purchased the copyright, I The iQiyi novel platform authorized by the novel has been actively communicating with the other party for payment reminders. They have been urging and following up on the matter almost every week, and have provided timely feedback to the author. I am actually very grateful to the platform and my editor, who has been actively handling this matter. Don't blame iQiyi, it's the film crew whose behavior time and time again is really unimaginable."Jia Li said in the comment area of ​​her personal Weibo in July that her main demand at present is to settle the remaining copyright fees, because she is a full-time author and relies on the income from royalties to make a living. "The producer still has no I contacted me, but the other party’s previous attitude was that they always defaulted on the reason of lack of money. "As of press time, neither the web drama "The Face on the Moon" nor the production company Kuaijin Culture have responded.
