Across America, Starting with the Boxing Champion Chapter 426

Chapter 426: Massage and apply ointment

The training lasted until four or five o'clock in the afternoon. Most of the people in the training ground left. Link also came to the locker room, showered and changed clothes, called Christine a few times, and prepared to send her back.

“The training is over?”

Christine woke up from the sofa and stretched her waist lazily. The hem of her T-shirt was pulled up, revealing her white thighs and her annoying safety pants.

“Are you awake? Do you want to take a shower?”

Link wiped his hair with a towel, took out a shirt from the closet and put it on.

“Why am I in the locker room?”

Kristine turned around and looked around. She remembered that she had eaten just now and trained for a while. She felt tired for a while, and her upper eyelids couldn't help but fall down. Finally, she couldn't help but fall asleep on the soft bench of the weight bench. past.

When she woke up, she found herself lying on the sofa in Link's dressing room. Link had just taken a shower and was still getting dressed. He asked her if she wanted to take a shower.

“I just saw you sleeping on the floor, so I sent you to the dressing room.”

"is that so?"

Kristine thought about it for a moment, but she had no impression, but out of trust in him, she also believed his words. However, when she was about to stand up from the sofa, she suddenly felt a tingling sensation in her legs, arms, shoulders, and both sides. Both side ribs hurt.

Christine bit her lower lip and looked at Link with a pale face, "Did you beat me while I was sleeping? Why does my whole body hurt?"

"Muscle strain! Just now I advised you to warm up before training, but you didn't pay attention. Muscle tingling is normal now. Just rest for two days and it will be fine. It was the same with Emma last time. If you want to speed up your recovery, you can try This medicine."

Link took out a bottle of green plaster and handed it to her.

“How to use this?”

Christine frowned and looked at the bottle and asked.

“Smear!”

Link unscrewed the bottle cap, poured some green ointment into the palm of his hand, then picked up Christine's arm, spread the ointment evenly on her forearm, and pinched it a few times.

“Hey, it hurts so much, please be gentle.”

“Bear it!”

Link patted her arm, then picked up the bottle and poured out some plaster and applied it to her upper arm. Her arm was very slender and had a little muscle.

“Hey, it's a little refreshing! I feel a lot more comfortable.”

Christian moved the arm that had been treated with medicine. The stinging sensation was much lessened than before, and there was also a refreshing feeling of being healed after being injured. This feeling was very fascinating.

"Just use it like this. When you go back, apply it yourself. Twice a day, it will be almost done in three days."

Link put down the bottle and stood up.

“How do I apply it myself?”

Christine pointed to the back of her shoulder, "This position is also very painful and I can't lift my arm."

“You can ask an assistant to help you. Your assistant is a girl, right?”

Link said.

“But I still have pain for a while before I go home. Can't you wipe it for me?”

Christine asked, holding the bottle.

Link looked at her and said, "I'm a boy, do you mind if I touch your body?"

“Will you bully me while I'm hurt?”

Christine looked at him quietly and asked.

Link shrugged, took the medicine bottle and continued to help her apply it on the muscles of her arms, calves, and upper thighs.

To make it easier for him to apply the medicine, Christine slowly took off her T-shirt under his gaze, and lay on the sofa holding her chest.

Link continued to apply the massage on her shoulders and back, and massaged her by the way. When applying the massage on her ribs, Christine couldn't help but move around, holding his palm and saying it was itchy.

"do not move!"

Link pressed her back to prevent her from moving randomly, because she couldn't avoid bumps when she moved around, which would also make the anger in his body rise. If Christine was not injured, he wouldn't mind it happening here. Order something.

Now Kristen's body is covered in the smell of ointment, which makes her unable to do anything.

Christine lay on the sofa, resting her chin on her arm and said, "You're scary when you're angry."

Link said nothing and continued to massage and apply medicine on her back. Her skin was smooth and delicate, like white marble, with a bit of fleshiness.

“Last time Emma was injured, did you apply medicine on her like this? Did you take advantage of her?”

Christine asked.

“Last time I sent her home, her aunt Julia was there.”

Link moved his palms from his ribs to his waist, and his fingertips gently brushed against the soft parts.

“Then did you and Emma have sex?”

“No!” “Really? During that time, I saw her clinging to you every day and often talking about you when chatting. You didn't go to bed?”

Christine asked.

“No! I don't have to lie to you about this kind of thing.”

Link shrugged.

Christine didn't speak any more. She lay on the sofa with her chest in her arms. Her hair covered half of her face, making her expression unclear. Link continued to apply medicine on her.

“Link!”

Christine pressed her chin on her arms and said softly, "I used to think you were a philandering, lustful, half-hearted scumbag who also liked to use your handsome appearance and strong body to deceive girls' feelings and play with their bodies."

“So I am so bad in your impression, now?”

Link asked, gently squeezing her shoulders.

“Now I think you're not too bad. You're very talented, diligent, hard-working, and interesting. You're not as lustful as you thought. You're a little better than you thought.”

Christine said.

“Thank you! Finally, the medicine I helped you with was not in vain.”

Link patted her on the back.

Christine turned back and rolled her eyes at him, "You'd better not let me take back what I just said."

"After applying it, get up and move around to see if there are any other areas that need to be applied."

Link said.

Kristine looked at him, stood up generously, put on a T-shirt in front of him, and moved her limbs. Many muscles in her body still had some tingling, but they were much more relaxed than when she woke up before. There will be no tingling or pulling pain in the upper muscles.

“Just wipe it on twice more and it'll be fine.”

Link handed her the medicine bottle, put his right hand in his trouser pocket and walked into the bathroom to wash his hands.

Christine looked at his awkward walking posture and blinked expressionlessly.

Leaving Muscle Beach Club, Link drove Christine home first, and then drove to Lionsgate Studios to pick up Ivaca from get off work.

On the way, the two talked about the work of Lionsgate Pictures. After dealing with the "Warner Pictures stealing box office" matter, Lionsgate Pictures' current main work is the six movies, two TV series and four more that it is currently producing. Upcoming movies coming out this month and next.

There are also three movies released by Lionsgate Pictures in April and May that have done reasonably well at the box office.

The production cost of "The Lincoln Lawyer" was 40 million. The current North American box office is 53.4 million and the overseas box office is 25.33 million. It has basically achieved breakeven. The production cost of "The Black Crazy Madam's Happy Family" is 15 million. The current North American box office has exceeded 50 million. It is obvious that It's a profitable movie.

The other four low-budget films, such as "The Poor Lady" and "Red State", all grossed less than 10 million at the box office and suffered a loss of about 30 million, which is not too bad.

At this stage, Lionsgate Pictures has basically maintained a balance of payments except for 180 million in foreign debt.

The bad news is that the total box office of Lionsgate's independently released movies in the first half of the year was less than US$200 million. This result is not only not comparable to the six major film studios, but also inferior to Summit, Weinstein Pictures, and Relativity Media. Company, Lionsgate has also grown from the seventh largest in Hollywood last year to the tenth largest.

"Take your time. At this stage, we just need to maintain the stability of the company and ensure that the work of several crews can proceed normally. When we take full control of Lionsgate, the situation will slowly improve."

Link said while holding Ivaca's hand.

“One more thing, last week you bought two films from the Cannes Film Festival. After several heads of the distribution department saw them, they thought the quality of the films was average and they would definitely lose money through normal distribution. What do you think?”

Iwaka looked at his side face and asked.

"The thriller was first handed over to the production department for re-editing to see if there was any way to improve the quality of the film. Then it was screened at a cinema near Chinatown to see if it had potential. If the results were too poor, the screening was ended immediately and another "Mr. Tree", I have some hype ideas, but I don't know if they are feasible. I will go to the distribution department to talk to them in person tomorrow, and also learn about the film distribution work from them. "

"this is okay too."

Ivaca nodded slightly. I heard that he was going to use a foreign movie to promote it. Thinking of his past methods of promoting albums, I felt that the box office of this movie might be a surprise.

“Why does it smell like medicine? Are you injured?”

Ivaca asked, smelling her fingers.

“No! Help others apply medicine.”

"woman?"

Ivaca blinked her curved eyelashes.

“Why did you think it was a woman?”

Link was surprised by her sensitivity.

“You wouldn't be happy to apply medicine to a man.”

Iwaka said with her lips curved.

Link shrugged his shoulders and said something about Christine's muscle strain while practicing boxing.

Eva Cajun snorted lightly and didn't ask any more questions.
