Chapter 849: An action scene complained about by Duke
readx;?
Many people have a good show, thinking that Duke and his Los Angeles Raiders deserve it, but Duke has put tremendous pressure on the NFL officials in the media and beyond. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½āŖw(ww.ć
"If the authorities can't find conclusive evidence that we depressurized the ball during the game, then I hope the league can apologize to our whole team for their investigation, especially Tom? Brady apologized. The way the coalition handled the matter and the public opinion about it made me very uncomfortable. I just want to reiterate one thing: I believe the Raiders have done absolutely nothing wrong! ā
At a press conference at Warner Bros., Duke's rhetoric was harsher.
At the same time, the NFL's largest officially authorized sporting goods manufacturer said that since the investigation report came out, Tom? Brady's sales of personal products soared, doubling.
The NFL sponsor said, "We feel like it's because fans want to come together and support Brady and the Raiders. ā
North America is a land with an unusually strong business atmosphere, and many problems are not a problem in the face of sufficient business interests.
As Duke said, compromise is not necessarily weakness, and under pressure from all sides, the NFL still issued a ticket, but the weight of the penalty was very low.
Los Angeles Raiders fined $5O, Tom? Brady was personally fined $250,000.
And then there was no more......
This made a lot of people who were waiting to see the excitement go to great glory, such as the notoriously nosy owner of the Dallas Mavericks, Mark? Cuban.
"Maybe it's the so-called 'cover-up is a bigger crime than a crime', he can break a cell phone, he can break the rules of the game, 'but he can always get away with fooling the president of the league.'" But what you can't argue about is whether this fine is enough for playing with the president of the NFL. The NFL can't make players, agents, and lawyers feel that when you do something wrong, as long as you can destroy the evidence, it's fine. ā
"It's going to undermine the integrity of the league, if it's in the NBA." ā āŖā.ļ¼ć I think he's going to get at least a quarter of a season's suspension. So while I understand that Raiders fans won't agree with me, I think the penalty is too light for trying to destroy evidence. ā
To this, Duke didn't bother to respond at all. The two are not a hierarchical existence at all.
The influence of the NFL in North America is huge, and "deflating valves" have naturally become a hot topic, and even O'Black Carbon ridiculed the White House's policy at a regular press briefing at the White House that will not be like those football games that use deflated.
Before the NFL season, the "deflate" is also over. Duke also basically got the result he wanted, and the Los Angeles Raiders won't be relieved by this fine.
Last season, the NFL's total revenue reached $9.5 billion, while the Los Angeles Raiders earned more than $500 million and made a net profit of more than $100 million, which is not only far higher than the average of the league's 32 teams, but also the highest-paid team in the world.
Maybe it's nothing to Duke, but to Leonardo, who has a 10 percent stake? DiCaprio was a big surprise, after all, tens of millions of dollars in dividends were definitely not a small amount for him.
This also proves the terrorist influence of the NFL from the side.
No matter which standard is used. The NFL is the most successful sports league in history.
In fact, when it comes to the four major professional sports leagues in North America, it's usually professional football first before talking about other sports.
There's no doubt that the most popular TV show in North America for many years has been the annual Bowl, and the NFL has left a deep imprint on the public, with TV coverage of each year's tryouts earning much higher ratings than basketball and baseball league championship series.
Even the spring announcement of the new NFL season can become a hot topic in the news, even in the highest-grossing English league. The revenue generated is also only half that of the NFL.
However, the results of the NFL have not always been like this, as early as the 6O to the 9O of the 2O century, the NFL was widely popular, but it has not yet reached such a hot level...
By the nineties and the new century. The NFL has adopted an aggressive marketing strategy, and there has been a phenomenon of "turning fans into fans", "ordinary fans becoming loyal fans", and "hardcore fans becoming fanatical fans".
During football season, the most popular TV show is the NFL game on Sunday, where the NFL attracts an average of 70,000 fans per game, making the NFL the most popular game in the world after racing. The most watched sports league live.
However, for an NFL team, ticket revenue is a fraction of the revenue sheet, and the real dominance is the television broadcast, and more than 90 percent of NFL fans have not watched a live game.
However, selling well does not mean selling well.
The NFL itself is a league compared to its competitors, and compared to other commercial capital, the NFL is only a medium-sized company, about the size of a regional tool and mold manufacturer, and the NFL's total revenue last season was about $9.5 billion.
Walmart earns more than an NFL team annually for 5 hours.
In fact, in the Los Angeles area, a Walmart store earns as much as the Los Angeles Raiders.
But the NFL league and its teams can make a huge impact, especially in North America, which is the main reason Duke bought the Los Angeles Raiders.
The N.F.L. prohibits companies from owning a majority stake in the team, which means that the team is owned by a group of billionaires like Duke who know how to cater to the public's preferences.
As Duke said, more than half of the team owners acquired the team through inheritance, and the remaining few were too short to pass on the team to the next generation due to the short time of operation.
NFL President Roger, who was pushed to the forefront by Duke? Goodale may have been regularly criticized by the media and the public.
In fact, these criticisms cannot obscure his two outstanding achievements: first, greatly increasing the revenue of the NFL; 2. Delight the 17 main owners.
By those two criteria, he could easily become the best president in sports. Since 2oo5 years in Roger? Before Goodale took office, the NFL had an annual revenue of just $6.5 billion.
Why the NFL's revenue has risen by leaps and bounds in recent years, after buying the Los Angeles Raiders, Duke also studied it, mainly because of the rise in TV broadcast costs.
Two-thirds of the NFL's revenue comes from telecasting, and the NFL renews its televising deal every few years.
As a result, the NB began a battle for whomever gave the most money would get the right to broadcast the TV.
This is definitely a successful sports marketing case in terms of the NFL's illustrious history, and this year's class bowl garnered 114 million TV viewers across the United States, once again breaking the previous year's record and continuing to be the most popular TV show in history.
The majority of the Los Angeles Raiders' fans sit in front of the television compared to the number of people Lauder Arena can hold, so Duke's operational goal for the team was simple, to create the most consumer-friendly product.
That is, the Los Angeles Raiders want to satisfy the desire of the audience to sit in the sand and watch the game and spend.
That's why the team was able to achieve $500 million in revenue last season.
After the "deflate" gradually subsided, Duke stopped caring about the Los Angeles Raiders and focused all his energy on the preparation of "The Dark Knight Rises".
The crew also confirmed the last actor, Sienna who played the baroness in "Special Forces: The Rise of the Cobra"? Miller defected to ICM a few years ago, and in Nancy? On the recommendation of Josephson, Duke decided to let her play Miranda? Tate.
Besides, Christian? Bell, Gail? Gadot and Daune? Johnson also began rehearsing some action scenes.
As we all know, Batman doesn't love weapons and likes hand-to-hand combat, and in order to make up for this, action director Jimmy? Carter specially designed a set of mixed martial arts techniques that can be upgraded at any time according to Batman's own conditions and the situation of the opponent.
As a counterbalance, Duke also carefully prepared Bane's fighting ability, allowing him to freely decide to break anyone's neck, or even beat Batman as miserable as a pig's head.
This zero-distance physical confrontation makes Christian? Bell and Daune? Johnson put a lot of effort into rehearsals, the former was based on the filming of the first two films, and the latter was a professional-level action actor, and the difficulties encountered were far less than imagined.
Also, Margot? Robbie is also stuffed into action training by Duke, but her role is still under wraps, except for Duke and herself, as well as people like Tina? Faye and Anna? Except for a few people such as Prinz, few know who she plays.
As Duke asks, Jimmy? Carter's action team dedicated to Margot? Robbie devised a set of action routines that used a baseball bat as a weapon.
Duke knows very well that if the film wants to be attractive, the action scenes are crucial, he is not the director he used to be, he is originally an action movie, and in this regard, from design to shooting to editing, that is what he is best at.
If it weren't for the strong industrial system, the action scenes would not even be passed, especially the scenes of the police and thugs, which really make people unable to look at it directly, not to mention the level of action scenes, and it doesn't even conform to the thinking logic of normal people.
Of course, the thugs released from prison may also be shut up.
After all, part of it is locked up in a mental hospital, and from the perspective of the worldview, there is a clown in it, and it is possible to be infected by the clown.
These are all Duke's cranky thoughts when he is bored, "The Dark Knight Rises" is not as good as "The Dark Knight" because of the setting, but it is also a pretty good film, but just like he is not good at funny, any director has flaws, and the former director is really not good at action scenes.
By the end of September, the crew's preparations were basically completed, and some unfinished work, such as the computer special effects production that had already begun, could continue while shooting. (To be continued.) )
