Baidu competes with Alibaba, Tencent and other Chinese companies to create or buy movies and television shows-both foreign and domestic, with iQiyi showing a range of programs from Chinese costume dramas to American shows like "Homeland"-that Chinese viewers stream through their smartphones, tablets and computers.

One-fifth of all dramas under production at iQiyi, for instance, are from this genre.

爱奇艺出品的众多剧集中，五分之一都是奇幻剧题材。

The pair informed the board that they had withdrawn the offer after failing to strike a deal despite several rounds of discussions, Baidu said last Monday. The withdrawal came days after New York hedge fund Acacia Partners criticized the online search giant for considering selling iQiyi at a price that is "far too low."

百度公司上周一表示，双方在几轮讨论之后仍未达成协议，之后致信百度董事会撤回私有化要约。百度股东、纽约对冲基金Acacia Partners批评爱奇艺的出售价格“过低”。

2017年4月，爱奇艺与Netflix签署了一项授权协议，以播出美国提供商的部分原创内容，包括《怪奇物语》和《黑镜》。
