Yang Wei Dong who is the President of Alibaba’s entertainment arm that owns Youku has announced that Netflix has bought the rights to Day & Night, an original Youku series that shot up to fame for being an authentic crime thriller. It enjoys a high douban rating of 9.0 and racked up 4 billion views by the end of its run which is a nod of approval to a well-conceived production. Now that Netflix has the rights, Day & Night could potentially be the first Chinese web drama to be exported on a large-scale worldwide.
