v2 Chapter 849： The action scene that Duke Tucao

Many people have the mentality of watching the show and feel that Duke and his Los Angeles Raiders should have deserved their crimes, but Duke has exerted tremendous pressure on the NFL officials in the media and other areas.

"If the official cannot find conclusive evidence that we decompress the ball during the game, then I hope the league can apologize to our team for their investigations, especially Tom Brady. The league's handling of this matter And the public opinion of the outside world on this matter makes me very uncomfortable. I just want to reiterate: I believe the Raiders absolutely did nothing wrong!"

At a Warner Bros. press conference, Duke's wording was tougher.

At the same time, the NFL's largest officially authorized sporting goods supplier said that Tom Brady's personal product sales have soared and doubled since the investigation report was released.

The NFL sponsor said, "We think this is because the fans want to unite and support Brady and the Raiders."

North America is a land with an unusually strong commercial atmosphere. In the face of sufficient commercial interests, many problems are not a problem.

Just like Duke said, compromise is not necessarily weak. Under pressure from all quarters, the NFL still issued a ticket, but the penalty is very low.

The Los Angeles Raiders fined $500,000 and Tom Brady personally fined $250,000.

Then there is no more...

This makes many people who are waiting to see the excitement go out of their way, such as the famous nosy boss Mark Cuban of the Dallas Mavericks.

"Perhaps this is the so-called'covering is a bigger crime than crime'. He can break a mobile phone or break the rules of the game,'but he can always run away after cheating the president of the league'. But you can't argue. Yes, for playing with the NFL president, is this fine enough. The NFL can’t make players, agents, and lawyers feel. When you do something wrong, as long as you can destroy the evidence, it’s okay.”

"This will undermine the integrity of the league. If this happens in the NBA, I think he will be suspended for at least a quarter of the season. So although I understand that Raiders fans will not I agree with me, but I still think that the penalty for trying to destroy evidence is too light."

In this regard, Duke was too lazy to respond, and the two did not exist on the same level.

The NFL's influence in North America is huge, and "deflation" has naturally become a hot topic. Even Oheitan ridiculed the White House's policies at a regular White House press conference that it will not be like those who use deflation. Rugby game.

Before the NFL season, the "deflation" can be regarded as an end. Duke basically got the results he wanted, and he won't worry about this fine for the Los Angeles Raiders.

In the last season, the NFL's total revenue was as high as 9.5 billion U.S. dollars, while the Los Angeles Raiders earned more than 500 million U.S. dollars and net profit exceeded 100 million U.S. dollars. Not only is it much higher than the average of 32 teams in the league, it is also the highest paid team in the world.

Perhaps this little money is nothing to Duke, but to Leonardo DiCaprio, who holds 10% of the shares, it is a great surprise. After all, the dividend of tens of millions of dollars is definitely not a small amount to him.

This also proves the terrifying influence of the NFL from the side.

No matter what standard is used to measure it, the NFL is the most successful sports league in history.

In fact. When talking about the four major professional sports leagues in North America, we usually talk about professional football first, and then talk about other sports.

There is no doubt that the most popular TV show in North America for many years has been the annual Super Bowl. The NFL has left a deep impression on the public's hearts. The TV coverage of the annual trials alone can get much higher ratings than the basketball and baseball league championship series.

Even the spring announcement of the NFL's new season arrangement can become a hot news. Even the most popular Premier League, generates only half of the NFL's revenue.

However, NFL performance is not always the case. As early as the 1960s to the 1990s, the NFL was very popular, but it has not yet reached such a hot level.

In the 1990s and the new century, the NFL adopted an active marketing strategy, and the phenomenon of "road turning fans", "ordinary fans turning into loyal fans", and "hardcore fans turning into fanatic fans" appeared.

In the football season, the most popular TV show is Sunday’s NFL game. In the NFL stadiums, an average of 70,000 fans can watch each game. This makes the NFL the most watched sports in the world except for racing. League.

However, for an NFL team, ticket revenue is only a fraction of the revenue table. The TV broadcast is the real dominant player, and more than 90% of NFL fans have never watched a live game.

However, selling well does not mean selling well.

Compared with competitors, the NFL itself is a league. Compared with other commercial capitals, the NFL is only a medium-sized enterprise, about the size of a regional tool and mold manufacturer. The NFL's total revenue last season was approximately $9.5 billion.

Wal-Mart’s 5-hour income is higher than the annual income of an NFL team.

In fact, in the Los Angeles area, the income of a Wal-Mart store is equivalent to the income of the Los Angeles Raiders.

But the NFL league and its teams can have a huge impact, especially in North America, which is the main reason Duke bought the Los Angeles Raiders.

The NFL prohibits companies from holding most of the shares in the team, which means that the owners of the team are a group of prominent billionaires like Duke, who know how to cater to the public's preferences.

Just like Duke said, more than half of the team owners get the team through inheritance, and the remaining few cannot pass the team to the next generation due to too short operating time.

NFL president Roger Goodall, who was pushed to the fore by Duke, may be criticized by the media and the public.

In fact, these criticisms cannot conceal the two outstanding achievements he made: one, greatly increasing the income of the NFL; two, making the 17 major owners happy.

If you look at these two standards, he can easily become the best president in sports. Because in 2005, before Roger Goodell took office, the NFL's annual revenue was only $6.5 billion.

Why did the NFL's income soar in recent years? After buying the Los Angeles Raiders, Duke has also studied it, mainly because of the increase in TV broadcast costs.

Two-thirds of the NFL’s revenue comes from television broadcasting, and the NFL re-signs a television broadcasting agreement every few years.

As a result, NBC, CBS, Fox, and ABC's ESPN began a battle for the TV broadcast rights whoever gave more money.

Judging from the glorious history of the NFL, this is definitely a successful sports marketing case. This year's Super Bowl has won 114 million TV viewers across the United States, breaking the record of the previous year again and continuing to win the honor of the most popular TV show in history.

Compared with the number of people that the Lauder Stadium can hold, most of the fans of the Los Angeles Raiders sit in front of the TV. Therefore, Duke's operational goals for the team are simple and create the most convenient products.

In other words, the Los Angeles Raiders have to satisfy the audience's desire to sit on the sofa to watch games and consume.

This is also an important reason why the team was able to achieve $500 million in revenue last season.

After the "deflation" gradually subsided, Duke no longer cares about the Los Angeles Raiders and put all his energy on the preparation of "The Dark Knight Rises".

The crew also identified the last actor. Sienna Miller, who played the Baroness in "Special Forces: The Rise of Cobra", surrendered to ICM a few years ago. Under the recommendation of Nancy Josephson, Duke Decided to let her star in Miranda Tate.

In addition, Christian Bale, Gal Gadot and Dawn Johnson also began to rehearse some action scenes.

As we all know, Batman doesn't love weapons and likes close-to-hand combat. In order to make up for this, action director Jimmy Carter specially designed a set of mixed martial arts that can be upgraded at any time according to Batman's own conditions and the situation of his opponent.

As a check and balance, Duke also carefully prepared for Bain's extraordinary fighting ability, allowing him to freely decide to twist anyone's neck, and even beat Batman as miserable as a pig.

This kind of zero-distance physical contending caused Christian Bale and Dawn Johnson to devote a lot of energy to rehearsal. The former was based on the shooting of the first two films, and the latter was a professional-level action actor and encountered difficulties. Far from being as many as imagined.

In addition, Margot Robbie was also put into action training by Duke, but her role is still in the secret stage, except for Duke and herself, as well as a few people like Tina Fei and Anna Prinz. Besides, few know who she is playing.

According to Duke's request, Jimmy Carter's action team specially designed a set of action routines with baseball bats as weapons for Margot Robbie.

Duke knows very well that the action scenes are very important when the film wants to attract people. He is not the former director. He was originally a filmmaker. In this regard, from design to shooting to editing, that is what he is best at. .

In the previous movie, the action scenes were horrible and not much better. If it weren't for the support of the powerful industrial system, the action scenes would not even be a pass, especially the scene where the police and the mob were fighting. Can't look directly, not to mention the level of action scenes, or even not in line with normal people's thinking logic.

Of course, the thugs released from prison may also be locked up.

After all, part of it is locked in a mental hospital. From the perspective of the world view, there is also a clown there, and it is possible to be infected by the clown.

These are all Duke’s boring fantasies. "The Dark Knight Rises" is not as good as "The Dark Knight" because of its setting. It is also a very good film, but just like he is not good at funny, any director can There are defects, the former director is really bad at action scenes.

By the end of September, the preparatory work of the crew was basically completed, and some unfinished work, such as the computer special effects production that started long ago, can be continued while filming. (To be continued~^~)
