《琅琊榜2》將以網劇形式播出 獨家落戶愛奇藝

Chinese online streaming site iQiyi has struck a deal with the producers behind hit TV drama "Nirvana in Fire" to exclusively broadcast the show's second season.
中國在線視頻網站愛奇藝已經和熱播劇《琅琊榜》的製片方達成協議，將獨家播出該劇集的第二季。

The news was announced at the China Online Drama Forum which was held in Beijing over the weekend. "Nirvana in Fire 2" will be an online drama with a premiere date set in 2017.
這一消息是在本週末於北京舉行的中國網絡電視劇論壇上宣佈的。《琅琊榜2》將以網絡劇的形式於2017年首映。

According to the show's producer Hou Hongliang, the exclusivity deal was a direct result of iQiyi's role in popularizing the show.
根據該劇的製片人侯鴻亮表示，《琅琊榜》在愛奇藝平臺上的成功推廣是促成本次獨家授權協議的直接原因。

It's not clear at the moment if the cast will return to reprise their roles in the first season. "Nirvana in Fire" gained huge fandom last year, with online comments crediting it as the best TV show in 2015.
不過現在還不清楚是否演員將會重新演繹他們在第一部中的角色。《琅琊榜》在去年吸引了大量的粉絲，網上的評論也將其稱爲2015年最好看的電視節目。

It's not the first time iQiyi has promoted its platform by offering access to an entire season of a new show to paid VIP members. The most recent success for the site was the exclusive broadcasting rights of South Korean TV drama "Descendants of the Sun".
這不是愛奇藝第一次通過提供新節目給付費VIP會員來提升自己的平臺了。該網站最近成功的例子就是韓國電視劇《太陽的後裔》的獨家播放權。

In addition to "Nirvana in Fire", iQiyi has also announced other eight other productions for 2017.
除了《琅琊榜》，愛奇藝還同時宣佈了2017年的其他八部作品。
