Many people are thinking of watching the show and think Duke and his Los Angeles Raiders deserve it, but Duke has put a huge pressure on the NFL official in the media and other aspects.

"If the official cannot find conclusive evidence that we have relieved the pressure on the ball during the game, then I hope the league can apologize to our team for their investigation, especially to apologize to Tom Brady. The league's handling of this matter and the public opinion on the matter have made me feel uncomfortable. I just want to reiterate: I believe that the Raiders have never done anything wrong!"

At a Warner Bros. press conference, Duke's wording was even more harsh.

Meanwhile, NFL's largest official authorized sporting goods manufacturer said that since the investigation report was released, Tom Brady's personal product sales soared, doubling.

The NFL sponsor said, "We think it's because fans want to unite and support Brady and the Raiders."

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

Just as Duke said, compromise may not be weak. Under pressure from all sides, NFL still issued a ticket, but the amount of punishment is very low.

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

Then there was nothing...

This made many people waiting to watch the fun, such as Mark Cuban, the famous nosy boss of the Dallas Mavericks.

"Maybe this is what is called 'covering is a bigger crime than a crime'. He can break a cell phone or break the rules of the game, 'but he can always escape after cheating the league president'. But what you can't argue is whether this fine is enough for playing with the nfl president. Nfl cannot make players, agents and lawyers feel that when you do something wrong, as long as you can destroy the evidence, it's fine."

"This will destroy the integrity of the league, if this happened in the NBA, I think he will receive a penalty of at least a quarter of the season suspension. So even though I understand that the Raiders fans won't agree with me, I still think the penalty for fines is too light for trying to destroy the evidence."

Duke was too lazy to respond to this. The two of them were not at the same level.

NFL has a huge influence in North America, and the "deflation valve" has naturally become a hot topic. Even O'Heichang joked that the White House's policies will not be like those who use outdated football games.

Before the NFL season came, the "deflation valve" came to an end. Duke basically got the result he wanted, and the Los Angeles Raiders would not feel at ease with this fine.

Last season, NFL's total revenue reached $9.5 billion, while the Los Angeles Raiders' revenue reached $500 million, and its net profit exceeded $100 million. Not only was it far higher than the average level of the 32 teams in the league, it was also the highest-paid team in the world.

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

This also indirectly proves the terrifying influence of nfl.

No matter which criterion is used to measure it.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 before we talk about other events.

There is no doubt that the most popular TV shows in North America over the years have been the annual Super Bowl. NFL has left a deep mark on the public's hearts. With the TV coverage of the annual trials alone, you can get much higher ratings than the basketball and baseball league championship series.

Even the spring announcements scheduled for the new season of NFL can become a hot topic of news, even the most popular Premier League. The revenue generated is only half of that of NFL.

However, the results of nfl have not always been like this. As early as the 1960s and 1990s, nfl was popular, but it has not reached such a hot level.

In the 1990s and the new century, nfl adopted an active marketing strategy, and there was a phenomenon of "turning fans to fans", "ordinary fans to loyal fans", and "hard fans to fanatical fans".

During the rugby season, the most popular TV show is the NFL game on Sunday, which attracts 70,000 fans per game in NFL game venues, making NFL the most watched sports league in the world except racing.

However, for an NFL team, ticket revenue is just a fraction of the revenue list. The real leading role is TV broadcasting, and more than 90% of NFL fans have never watched live games.

However, selling well does not mean selling well.

Compared with competitors, NFL itself is an alliance, and compared with other commercial capital, NFL is just a medium-sized enterprise, about the size of a regional tool and mold manufacturer. NFL's total revenue last season was about US$9.5 billion.

Walmart's 5-hour income is higher than the annual income of an NFL team.

In fact, in the Los Angeles area, the revenue of a Walmart store is comparable to that of the Los Angeles Raiders.

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

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

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

NFL President Roger Goodell, who was pushed to the forefront by Duke, may be frequently criticized by the media and the public.

In fact, these criticisms cannot conceal his two outstanding achievements: one, greatly increasing NFL's revenue; the other, making the 17 main owners happy.

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

Why has NFL's revenue soared in recent years? After buying the Los Angeles Raiders, Duke has also studied it, mainly because of the increase in the cost of television broadcasts.

Two-thirds of nfl's revenue comes from television broadcasts, and nfl will re-sign a television broadcast agreement every few years.

So, the espn under NBC, CBS, Fo, and ABC started a battle. Whoever gave more money would get the right to broadcast the TV.

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

Compared to the number of people that Lauder Stadium can accommodate, most of the fans of the Los Angeles Raiders are sitting in front of the TV, so Duke sets the operational goals for the team very simple and creates the most convenient product to consume.

That is to say, the Los Angeles Raiders need to satisfy the audience's desire to sit on the sofa and watch games and spend.

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

After the "deflation valve" gradually subsided, Duke no longer cared about the Los Angeles Raiders and focused all his energy on the preparations for "The Dark Knight Rises".

The crew also confirmed the last actor. Sienna Miller, who played the bauble in "Special Forces: The Rise of Cobra", joined ICM a few years ago. With the recommendation of Nancy Josephson, Duke decided to let her play Miranda Tate.

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

As we all know, Batman doesn't love weapons and likes close-knit combat. In order to make up for this, action guide Jimmy Carter specially designed a set of mixed martial arts techniques for him that can be upgraded at any time based on Batman's own conditions and opponents' situation.

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

This zero-distance physical confrontation allowed Christian Bale and Dwayne Johnson to devote a lot of energy to rehearse. The former had the filming of the first two films as the basis, while the latter was a professional action actor, and the difficulties encountered were far less than imagined.

In addition, Margot Robbie was also stuffed into action training by Duke, but her role is still in the confidential stage. Except for Duke and herself, as well as a few people like Tina Fey and Anna Prinz, few know who she plays.

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

Duke knew very well that if the film wanted to attract people, the action scenes were very important. He was not the director he used to be. He was originally a director who made an action film. In this regard, from design to shooting to editing, he was the best at it.

In the movie that used to be a movie, the action scenes were not bad, nor were they much better. If it weren't for the strong industrial system, the action scenes would probably not even pass the exam, especially the scenes of the battle between the police and the thugs, which really made people unable to look directly. Not to mention the level of the action scenes, they even did not conform to the thinking logic of normal people.

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

After all, some of them are locked in mental hospitals. From the perspective of worldview, there is also a clown there, and it is possible that she is infected by a clown.

These are Duke's random thoughts when he was bored. "The Dark Knight Rises" is not as good as "The Dark Knight" because of its setting, but it is also a very outstanding film. However, just like he is not good at funnyness, any director has flaws. The director of the past 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 computer special effects production that had been started long ago, can be continued while shooting. (To be continued.)
