美国网飞公司与优酷达成协议，购入优酷自制流行侦探剧《白夜追凶》的海外发行权。优酷是中国互联网巨头阿里巴巴旗下的视频网站。

网飞公司在周四公开了这一协议，宣布购入32集侦探剧《白夜追凶》的海外发行权。

《白夜追凶》是王伟执导的中国首部硬汉派悬疑推理网剧，由潘粤明、王泷正、梁缘等主演。该剧讲述了刑侦支队队长关宏峰为了洗脱弟弟关宏宇的杀人罪名，一路破获多起案件的故事。

自今年8月30日播出以来，《白夜追凶》口碑爆棚，豆瓣评分超过9.0，该剧男主角潘粤明还通过在剧中精湛的演技迎来事业第二春。

Critically praised and commercially huge in China, the show has generated more than four billion views on Youku since its local online premiere on Aug 30.
《白夜追凶》播出后饱受赞誉，在商业上也获得巨大成功，自从8月30日在优酷首播后，播放量已超40亿次。

阿里巴巴文化娱乐集团轮值总裁杨伟东说：“我们很自豪能与网飞达成这个突破性的合作，中国文化产业正在蓬勃发展，相信出口高质量的内容将帮助世界各国人民更好地了解中国的软实力。”

敢和美剧公开叫板，《白夜追凶》到底有多牛？

这部“冷峻但不黑暗”的罪案刑侦剧，因为它的美剧质感和电影画质，好看到口碑炸裂。

Day and Night, widely reckoned as the best crime drama of the year.
《白夜追凶》被推举为今年最佳罪案剧。

这部剧从剧情、演员、配乐、剪辑等各方面都堪称完美，所以能取得这么好的口碑和成绩也就不奇怪了。

Unlike most online hit dramas which are adapted from bestselling novels, Day and Night has no franchise to rely on. But it has made its own name.
和大多数根据畅销小说改编的人气网剧不同，《白夜追凶》并无热门IP可依靠，但它自己打出了一片江山。

编剧指纹的律师从业背景也使得故事的可信度和逻辑感大大提升。

Audiences are fascinated by the complicated yet watertight storylines weaved by playwright Zhi Wen, a former litigator with years of law practice.
本剧的编剧指纹曾是一名执业多年的诉讼律师，他创作的故事情节复杂却缜密，深深吸引着观众。

《白夜追凶》是典型的国产刑侦剧。

Day and Night is a 32-episode Chinese webdrama that follows a detective on a mission to clear his brother of murder charges and also crack all sorts of cases along the way.
《白夜追凶》一共32集，主要讲述了一位警察帮弟弟洗清谋杀罪名和一路上屡破奇案的故事。

哥哥关宏峰是原刑警支队队长，因为不相信弟弟关宏宇是一起灭门案的通缉犯而与领导闹翻辞职，并开始暗中追查幕后真凶。

但到底是谁嫁祸了弟弟呢？第一季的结局会给你一个大跌眼镜的答案。

继任关宏峰支队长一职的周巡看起来咋咋呼呼，却粗中有细，心机颇深，演员王泷正功力深厚的表演也是让人眼前一亮。

此外还有各种夸张的连环杀人案一起接着一起，非常高能。

但最最最最高能的是潘粤明一人饰双胞胎哥哥和弟弟两角，虽然脸长得一样，但是你却能轻易地分辨出两人谁是谁。

近年来，网剧开始发力，制作越来越精良，而《白夜追凶》的美剧质感更是让人惊喜。

《白夜追凶》总制片人袁玉梅也说：

"We created Day and Night to echo the features of American TV series. The fast-paced narrative and carefully designed visual language attracted many fans that are into US TV dramas."
“我们在创作《白夜追凶》的时候就想打造一种美剧气质。快节奏的叙事，精心设计的镜头语言，这吸引了很多喜欢美剧的粉丝。”

不拿观众当傻子，案情发展永远若隐若现地吊着人们的胃口，同时还穿插了很多犯罪冷知识。

剧中，单元剧破案进程快得像美剧；而主线为弟弟洗清嫌疑寻找真相的过程，又像英剧，抽丝剥茧。

外国观众有眼福了！
