Chapter 362 News about the second season
At 9:30, the third episode of "Seventeenth Floor" was broadcast on Beijing and Taiwan on time.
The real-time ratings reacted immediately.
The opening of 1.47% shocked everyone who paid attention to this data.
On the Internet, many netizens are updating images of themselves sitting in front of the TV watching dramas in real time.
Chen Siqi noticed that many people watched the first or second episode of Northern Lights Video and couldn’t wait to watch the third episode, so they chose to watch TV on Friday night.
She was keenly aware that this would be a big topic, and immediately sent her thoughts to the self-media group of "Jump Up" and asked the editor on duty today to write about this topic.
"Jump Up" self-media now has four full-time editors, and they have arranged their shifts. On the day of duty, it’s not anything else, but this kind of temporary and sudden topic selection, which must be written immediately by the editor on duty.
Self-media attaches great importance to being first.
With the speed I have honed, this manuscript was already out before the third episode was finished.
"Seventeenth Floor, webcasting feeds back TV ratings!" Lu Yanhe once again achieved a ratings miracle".
Chen Siqi clicked his tongue and deleted the next sentence.
Invite hatred.
"Send it." After reading it, she only made this one modification.
At 10:30, the third episode ended, and the discussion about "Seventeenth Floor" on the Internet increased exponentially.
Chen Siqi watched TV at her home.
Her father and Liu Wei'an had a party in the evening, but neither came back.
Chen Yuanzhi has been taken to bed by the nanny.
She is the only one on the first floor.
Chen Siqi turned off the TV, looked around, and suddenly had an idea.
Can she buy a house by herself?
In this case, she doesn’t have to live here anymore.
"I watched "Seventeen Floors". I don’t know if you can understand it. I can actually understand Li Meng. No, I don’t understand. I even envy Li Meng. She is an orphan. Although she lives It was very painful, but it also prevented me from encountering a very bad family," Chen Siqi said. "In the past two years, my father and Liu Wei'an's attitude towards me has obviously changed. Changes, especially my dad, now treat me politely, as if he were a guest. When I was a kid, I hoped he would be like this, and would be less instigated by Liu Wei'an to interfere with my affairs. Now he can't, obviously. I don’t want to care anymore, but I feel a little uncomfortable, and people are cheap.”
Chen Siqi seems to find it difficult to accept such discomfort.
Lu Yanhe sighed and said, "It's human nature, he is your father, and you will never let go of him in this life."
Chen Siqi: "But I think he can let go of me."
Lu Yanhe wanted to say "don't say angry words", but he felt that if he said so, Chen Siqi would probably die in a angry manner. The phone call came, so he swallowed his words again.
“Not to mention this, “Seventeenth Floor” is quite good to watch, and I have a hunch that this drama will become a big hit in the future, although it is already very popular now.” Chen Siqi said, “I feel like I Many people around me are watching it. I feel like the last time I watched a drama on such a large scale was "Six People"."
Lu Yanhe: "The subject matter of "Seventeen Floors" has a natural advantage. As long as everyone takes it in, they will definitely be attracted to read on."
"Indeed, and the script is very well written, The editing is good, with one level per episode and a main line, but each episode is relatively independent," Chen Siqi said, "I feel like "Seventeenth Floor" is a good one. The success of the second weekly broadcast will lead many dramas to really start to explore the weekly broadcast model. After all, weekly broadcasts can keep the popularity of a drama longer. Previously, weekly broadcasts could not be done in our country because of testing the waters. The few dramas that have been aired in the past few weeks have not been very good, and there have been many blockbusters. This time, whether it is "Sixteenth Floor" or "Seventeen Floors", they have done very well. Successful, the number of episodes is very small, one is eight episodes, the other is more than ten episodes. Although the average cost per episode is high, the total cost is much lower than that of many TV series, and it is also more conducive to the platform's risk control. Everyone can see that success is not an exception. Two films appeared in the first half of this year, and it is expected that there will be many projects that want to replicate the miracle of weekly broadcasts.”
Lu Yanhe said: "But there are currently not many scripts suitable for weekly broadcasts. The current scripts are still based on the original long-play scripts. If they want to make short plays, they will create the scripts based on the characteristics of weekly broadcasts from the script stage. . "
Chen Siqi: "Well, you may not believe it, but several writers in our magazine have received invitations from film and television companies to write scripts. "
Lu Yanhe is a little bit. Surprised, he asked: "Are you looking for our writers? Why don't they look for mature screenwriters?"
"I don't know the specific reason. Anyway, film and television companies themselves cast a wide net when looking for screenwriters, raising worms." "Cultivation." Chen Siqi said, "Basically, anyone who works with words has received such an invitation."
Lu Yanhe: "Do we have anyone to do it?"
Chen Siqi: "No author has tried it yet. Although it is said that the film and television company took the initiative to invite them, it actually does not mean that they are asked to be the main writers. They are all working for well-known screenwriters, and the pay is not high. They have all signed contracts with us, so it's okay If you are serious about earning royalties by publishing works and writing books, why should you earn their little money?"
Lu Yanhe suddenly realized.
Chen Siqi: ""Jump Up" is just our base camp. Now we have many self-media accounts, involving film and television, entertainment, food, reading, character interviews... There are 13 large and small in total. , the demand for manuscripts is also very high. If you want to earn more manuscript fees, you can also write columns on these self-media accounts. If they are mainly in line with our themes, if they are well written, we will publish them.”
Lu Yanhe. Hearing what Chen Siqi said, he was very surprised.
“So many?”
"Yes." Chen Siqi said, "Of course, the main reason is that several of our editors have opened their own accounts, and we have also signed contracts with their accounts, cooperated, and are doing management and operations as one of its management accounts."
Lu Yanhe suddenly realized.
So that’s it.
He said, number thirteen, this is too exaggerated.
Chen Siqi said: "Currently, only three of the thirteen accounts can achieve profitability, and the other accounts are still developing."
Lu Yanhe nodded.
“This is amazing.” Lu Yanhe said to Chen Siqi, “I didn’t even realize that we now have so many self-media accounts.”
“The development of self-media It is the general trend, but running a magazine is swimming against the current,” Chen Siqi said, “We are doing well now.”
Lu Yanhe: "It's amazing."
Chen Siqi: "The Li Bi you are looking for is quite capable. He has applied to me again and again for additional special funds to do some things, but he is quite capable. I am courageous, and although I spend a lot of money, I have accomplished a lot, and my report card is very beautiful.”
"He has been a paparazzi, and paparazzi work is very hard. If he can be a paparazzi, if he has the opportunity, of course he can also do other jobs well." Lu Yanhe said.
Chen Siqi glanced at Lu Yanhe in surprise and said, "Well, I didn't expect you to think so highly of the paparazzi."
"Mainly in the past two years. , I often compete with them in battles of wits and courage. Sometimes I feel that they are all-pervasive. "I think they are quite capable." Lu Yanhe said with a smile, "Sometimes I wonder, since they all have such great abilities, why don't they use them in serious work? If they have this ability, they would have acquired it long ago. Success in a secular sense."
Chen Siqi nodded, " Do you think we can recruit more paparazzi?"
"Then we should pay more attention. After all, most paparazzi...well, there is no bottom line. I thought Li Bi could do it and let him try. "It's because he secretly filmed me and rented a house with someone seriously." Yan He laughed as he spoke, "Actually, renting a house is not a bottom-line thing. If you think about it carefully, I thought he was quite different. I didn't expect that I actually met a very capable person. "Chen Siqi: "You have a discerning eye, you are really capable in this area"

The average ratings of the third episode suddenly increased by nearly 0.5 percentage points to 1.37%, shocking the industry.
Again? !
Have the ratings reached such an exaggerated position again?
Except for CCTV, almost no local station can reach this level of ratings in this era.
"Six People" did it at the beginning of the year, and now this summer, "Seventeen Floors" has done it again!
After the ratings came out, Jiang Lan’s cell phone was like a vibrator installed and it never stopped.
Her face almost froze with laughter.
Everyone came to congratulate me.
Such a posture clearly indicates that "Seventeenth Floor" is about to take off.
But there is no updated Northern Lights video tonight, which is a bit depressing.
Everyone said that this was because the first and second episodes were broadcast so well on Northern Lights Video, which brought a lot of viewers to the Beijing-Taiwan TV series.
Many viewers who couldn’t wait chose to watch the premiere on Friday.
Northern Lights Video is a little worried internally. Will their webcast data be affected because of this?
Regardless of what the two broadcast platforms think, as soon as the ratings results came out, Chen Bige and Lu Yanhe washed away the public opinion situation that they had been ridiculed by many black people before.
The two of them have high status in the entertainment industry now, and they are not the kind of people who just have status but quit the front line of acting.
In fact, there are not that many actors who are truly recognized by film and television companies and platforms as having the ability to carry dramas, especially those who can carry any drama of different genres, even fewer.
The success of "Seventeen Floor" this time has made Lu Yanhe the first actor this year to have two starring roles in dramas with ratings exceeding 1.
Of course Chen Ziyan will not miss this opportunity.
When it comes to publicizing her performance, Chen Ziyan will never care that Lu Yanhe is on too many trending searches and needs to maintain the actor's sense of mystery.
At this time, we must publicize openly and loudly to let everyone know how resistant Lu Yanhe is in terms of business capabilities and how outstanding his performance is.
When the ratings of the fourth episode still remained at 1.26%, everyone knew that the ratings of the drama "Seventeenth Floor" were stable.

It was at this time that Northern Lights Video announced that Lu Yanhe would work with Northern Lights Video to develop the battle royale themed online drama "Squid Game".
Riding on the momentum of "Seventeenth Floor", although the project "Squid Game" was not officially announced for the first time, it still easily became a hot search.
In addition to the official announcement, there are also rumors coming out.
"Squid Game" will co-star several popular actors such as Huang Kairen, Zeng Qiao, and Jiang Yuqian who Lu Yanhe has worked with.
This cast immediately became a hot topic.
Then, Zheng Huairen, the content person in charge of Northern Lights Video, clarified: "At present, "Squid Game" has indeed been in contact with some actors, but the list posted online is not true."
Lu Yanhe went to shoot an advertisement and was stopped by the media at the door of the studio.
"Is there anything you can tell us about "Squid Game" first?"
"It's still being kept secret for the time being." Lu Yanhe said with a smile, "The only thing that can be revealed is, I have almost finished writing the script, and the first draft has been handed over to Northern Lights Video, and there will probably be a few more rounds of revisions in the future. "It turns out that "Squid Game" has already been written?"
“ After filming "Seventeenth Floor", I had the idea of creating such a battle royale story," Lu Yanhe said with a smile, "Director Lian Bei listened to my idea and supported me, so. I tried to write it. At that time, there was an overseas streaming media that wanted to talk to me about cooperation in "Squid Game", but the conditions were not suitable, so I refused. I thought I would shelve it, but I didn't expect that Northern Lights Video was very interested. .”
"With so many projects in progress, how do you manage your time?" The reporter was surprised. "It feels like you have written a lot of scripts in the past two years."
"Actually, you graduated from high school. It has been accumulating since then. At that time, I just wrote it for fun and did not show it to others. Now it has appeared in a concentrated manner in the past two years. Of course, it was not written by me in the past two years," Lu Yanhe said with a smile.
"So which actors are "Squid Game" currently in contact with? Can you reveal one or two more easily? Are the actors on the list posted online real?" the reporter asked with a smile.
Lu Yanhe sighed and said: "You clearly know that I can't say it, but it can be said that the actors in the list of online rumors will indeed have new cooperation with me in the future. You can look forward to it. , not only "Squid Game" but also " "Seventeenth Floor" has only aired its fourth episode, and the following plots are even more exciting. Please help us promote it. I will be filming soon, so I can't chat with you anymore. Bye! , Lu Yanhe stopped answering any questions and entered the studio.

The popularity of "Squid Game" has also attracted the attention of Beijing and Taiwan.
At the internal meeting, someone said: "Lu Yanhe is taking advantage of the popularity of "Seventeenth Floor" to collaborate with Northern Lights Video on "Squid Game". Is this okay?"
"People want to Taking advantage of the popularity, you can still stop others?”
“Who would have thought”
Someone said: "The script has been written a long time ago. How could it be to ride on the popularity of "Seventeenth Floor"? If you have written a drama like "Sixteenth Floor", do you need to ride on the popularity of "Seventeenth Floor"?"< br>
“If you don’t announce it sooner or later, why announce it at this time?”
“We can’t "Can you buy the exclusive TV broadcast rights of "Squid Game"?" Someone suddenly suggested, "It feels like this drama is obviously a big drama."
"It hasn't been filmed yet. Who can agree to buy it?"
“What if “Squid Game” is snatched away by other TV stations?”
Everyone was talking about it.
Jiang Lan knocked on the table and said: "What we are going to discuss today is the second season of "Seventeenth Floor". You don't need to discuss "Squid Game"."
She is like this As soon as he spoke, everyone calmed down and returned to the topic.
"The current ratings of "Seventeen Floors" have reached our expected target. As long as it does not collapse, we will definitely shoot a second season. This project itself is also a trilogy project. "Jiang Lan said, "Especially since this project has done a lot of derivative development. , is our new attempt, we want to continue the popularity of this IP.”
“We signed a three-season contract with director Lian Bei, but the actors did not have to film the second season. Ji, they will definitely ask for a salary increase.”
"Isn't it true that director Lianbei will not get a raise?" Jiang Lan sneered, "I'm not asking you to discuss this kind of thing. What you want to discuss is when the second season will be produced and when it will be broadcast. When I got out of time, I quickly went to talk to the production team and actors. If you don’t grab the slot early, you will be passive in everything you do later.”
……
That afternoon, Jiang Lan announced a news to the media he was familiar with:
Beijing and Taiwan are preparing for the second season of "Seventeen Floors", with all the members returning!
This news is not an official announcement, but is released in the name of gossip.
As soon as it came out, the news became a hot topic. After all, it is the most popular TV series at the moment, and the news of its sequel is attracting much attention.
