Even these extreme fans spontaneously formed a "No Villain Signature" campaign, to collect signatures from 1 million Batman fans across the country and send them to the White House, so that the White House can issue a ban on the release of this Batman movie in which the producer has set a role for himself. [No pop-up novel network]

And this event, under the call of Jack Nelson, actually collected 700,000 online signatures in just one week, although it did not reach the target number, it was enough to be a sensational event in the film industry.

Instigated by public opinion, fan organizations across the United States have launched a series of demonstrations to protest the release of "The Dark Knight".

Of course, in fact, these people are not mainstream movie fans, they are only a small part, but this part jumps up and down, which can easily give people the illusion that they represent mainstream public opinion.

What's even more terrifying is that the mailbox of Black Feather Studio has received a number of disappointment threat letters in a row.

The content of the letter is much the same, it is all "If you dare to play the clown, then I will make all of you pay"; And the payer is written "Gotham City Joker".

This incident made the entire crew worried, and Nolan did not hesitate to call the police directly, but the police came, investigated and questioned many people, but did not find any relevant evidence.

In short, these things made Gu Xiaofan very unhappy, of course, these things did not cause substantial harm to him, but he felt that the people around him were threatened and violated, and he was very angry.

"Don't let me find him, otherwise I'll kick his soft eggs~" Gu Xiaofan scolded and scolded.

Nolan patted him on the shoulder very calmly and persuaded him: "Don't get excited, just do your job calmly, these little things are not worth worrying about at all." ”

Gu Xiaofan didn't make a sound, just nodded with a cold face, although he was angry, he actually knew that these were all dirty little tricks thrown by Abel's people, the purpose was to disrupt their current shooting mood and make them mess up.

However, this also shows that Abel and his son are already jumping off the wall in a hurry, and the best counterattack now is to shoot "The Dark Knight" well and slap them hard when it is released.

So Gu Xiaofan completely isolated the interference of the outside world, handed over everything to Chen Keer, Liu Shishi to deal with, and he only ate and filmed every day.

And everything is just as Gu Xiaofan expected in advance, Abel still spares no effort to slander him and himself, and Chen Keer also organizes the power of Black Feather Studio to fight back, and the two sides are fiercely fighting in public opinion.

The news of Warner's invasion by Chinese forces has also spread throughout the American financial community, and the U.S. government has begun to review Chinese companies by various legal and diplomatic means, and on the Chinese side, Wanda, Sina, and Huawei have formed an alliance to form a strong legal team.

Externally, the Chinese side did not put forward the slogan of "acquiring Warner", but only said that "taking a stake in Warner and deepening the cooperation between the two sides".

The U.S. government, on the other hand, used the excuse of "threatening national security" to prevaricate, organized the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States to conduct a strict review, and stopped Chinese companies from continuing to acquire Warner's shares.

In October 2009, Wanda, Huawei, Sina, and Fènghuáng issued an open letter to the U.S. government, denying U.S. accusations about security issues and calling for a full investigation.

The House Intelligence Committee launched an investigation on Nov. 3 and released its report on Nov. 27.

According to the report, Chinese companies are plagued by opaque management and bureaucratic organizational structures, and it is difficult to understand the extent and methods of China's influence and control over the country's economy.

At the same time, the Commission found that Wanda, Huawei, Sina, and China Film did not fully cooperate with the investigation, and were unwilling to explain Huawei, China Film's relationship with the Chinese government, and that there was credible evidence that Huawei and China Film failed to comply with U.S. law.

At this moment, there were many rumors in the sub-circle, and all kinds of bizarre speculations came out one after another.

Some people say that the Chinese government wants to buy N to expand the influence of international public opinion, some people say that China's national leaders want to use the whole country to buy the entire Time Warner magazine a few more times, and some people say that this time it is simply another self-directed and self-directed plan by Time Warner to seek more tax cuts from the government.

The more people who have nothing to do with these things, the more rumors are rumored behind their backs, but Warner, Fox, Gu Xiaofan and others are all shut up and just do things silently.

Because, any word they say unfavorable to Time Warner at the moment will make the hearts of shareholders turn to their opponents, so the more cautious they must be in their words and deeds.

At this time, Chinese capital had encountered unprecedented difficulties and was unable to acquire any shares of Time Warner through formal procedures.

In such a situation, finally, Zhongying, which has always been in the back, began to exert direct force.

Han Sanpin directly wrote to the relevant Chinese departments, the Ministry of Culture, the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television, and the Film Bureau immediately began to exert strong pressure on the United States on this issue, and officially issued a proclamation, warning the US government that if it violates the WTO agreement and interferes with the acquisition of Time Warner's shares by Chinese companies, then China will also not abide by the WTO agreement, and will reduce the share of Hollywood imported films again, from more than 23 films per year to 5 films per year.

Didn't you say that I was supported by the Chinese government? You're right, I'm backed by the Chinese government, and if you can interrupt my acquisition by so-called regulations, then you have to be prepared to pay a terrible price.

As soon as this announcement came out, except for the five major media groups headed by Warner, they immediately felt that they had been stepped on the tail, and they were about to get up, and the five major groups led by the Fox Group all expressed their attitude to the US government that they could not lose the entire Chinese market in order to protect Time Warner

China, a market of 1.3 billion people, is the future of world cinema, and losing them will damage the interests of Hollywood as a whole.

As a direct competitor of Time Warner, except for Disney, the five major groups have a good relationship, and the others are eager for Time Warner to collapse and they can carve up its market.

Even if the Chinese really join Warner, it is a better thing for them, Time Warner is not a small film and television studio, but a giant group with a wide range of designs.

Because an immature Gu Xiaofan is far easier to deal with than the scheming Abel Warner.

Under both external and internal pressure, on December 13, the Intelligence Committee of the U.S. House of Representatives finally reluctantly announced that the four major Chinese companies passed the review and were eligible to acquire Time Warner's shares.

At this moment, the originally simple situation has become confusing again.

The forces of Abel within Warner, the Chinese capital, and the News Corporation, which are eyeing each other, are all wrestling with their own strength.

On the other hand, as expected, most shareholders did not make a clear statement, but waited for the situation to become clearer.

In these 3 months of magnificent business battles, the crew of "The Dark Knight" gritted their teeth and successfully completed the filming under pressure, and finally completed the post-production within the planned time......

At this moment, everyone from all sides is staring at the result of the day this movie is released, and in the fierce struggle to the end, it is Gu Xiaofan, the figure at the center of the storm, who has to decide the outcome of this dispute......
