Chapter 426: Massage and Medicine

  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, bathed and changed clothes, and called Christine a few times, ready to send her back.

“The training is over?”

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

“Awake?Do you want to take a shower?”

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

“Why am I in the locker room?”

Christine turned her head and looked around. She remembered that she had eaten just now. After training for a while, she felt a burst of fatigue. Her upper eyelids couldn't help falling down, and finally she couldn't help but fall asleep on the soft stool of the weightlifting rack.

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

“As soon as I saw you sleeping on the floor, I sent you to the locker room.”

“Is that so?”

Christine thought for a while, she didn't have much impression, but out of trust in him, she also believed what he said, but when she was about to stand up from the sofa, she suddenly felt a tingling in her legs, as well as her arms, shoulders, and ribs on both sides. Very painful.

Christine bit her lower lip and looked at Link palely, “Did you beat me up while I was asleep? Why do I have pain all over my body?"”

“Muscle strain!Just now I advised you to warm up and then train. You didn't care. Now muscle tingling is normal. Just take a two-day break. The same is true for 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 cap of the bottle, poured out some green ointment in the palm of his hand, then picked up Christine's arm, applied the plaster evenly to her little arm, and gently squeezed it a few times.

“Hiss, it hurts, you should be lighter.”

“Bear with me!”

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 bit cool!I feel a lot more comfortable.”

Christine moved her medicated arm, the tingling sensation was much less than before, and there was also a refreshing feeling of being healed after the injury. This feeling was very fascinating.

“Just use it like this, you can go back and apply it yourself, twice a day, it will be almost fine in three days.”

Link put down the bottle and got up and said.

“How do I wipe it myself?”

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

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

Link said.

“But.I have to hurt for a while before I go home, can't you wipe it for me?”

Christine asked, holding the bottle.

Link looked at her, “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 his shoulders, took the medicine bottle and continued to help her apply the muscles of her arms, calves, and upper thighs.

In order to facilitate his application of medicine, Christine slowly took off her T-shirt under his gaze and lay on the sofa with her chest in her arms.

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

“Don't move!”

Link pressed her back to prevent her from moving indiscriminately, because she couldn't avoid stumbling when she moved, which would also increase the anger in his body. If Christine was not injured, he wouldn't mind what happened here. Something happened.

Now Christine's body is full of the smell of ointment, which makes her unable to start.

Christine lay on the sofa with her chin resting on her arms and said, “It's scary when you get angry.”

Link didn't speak, and continued to massage and apply medicine on her back. Her skin was very smooth and delicate, like white marble, but also a little fleshy.

“Last time Emma was injured, did you help her apply medicine like this? Did you take the opportunity to take advantage of her?"”

Christine asked.

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

Link's palms moved from the ribs to the waist, and his fingertips gently rubbed the soft parts.

“Then did you sleep with Emma?”

“No!”

“Really?During that time, I saw her sticking to you every day, and she often talked about you when chatting. Didn't you 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 anymore, lying on the sofa with her chest in her arms, her hair covering half of her cheeks, making her expression invisible, Link continued to help her apply medicine.

“Link!”

Christine pressed her chin on her arm and said softly, “I used to think you were a fancy, lustful, half-hearted scumbag. You also like to deceive girls' feelings and play with their bodies by virtue of your handsome appearance and strong body." .”

“It turns out that I am so unbearable in your impression, now?”

Link asked lightly holding her shoulder.

“Now I think you are not too bad. You are very talented, very hardworking, very hardworking, and very interesting. You are not as lustful as you thought, and you are better than you thought.”

Christine said.

“Thank you!Finally, I didn't apply the medicine for you in vain.”

Link patted her upright behind her.

Christine glanced back at him blankly, “You'd better not let me take back what I just said.”

“After wiping, you can get up and move around to see if there are any other places where you need to apply medicine.”

Link said.

Christine looked at him, stood up generously, put a T-shirt in front of him, and moved her limbs. There was still some tingling in many muscles of her body, but it was much more soothing than when she woke up before, and the muscles in her legs would not have that kind of tingling pain when she walked.

“Just wipe it twice more.”

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

Christine looked at his awkward walking posture and blinked blankly.

Leaving the Muscle Beach Club, Link drove Christine home first, and then drove to Lionsgate to pick up Eva from work.

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

There are also three movies released by Lionsgate in April and May, and the box office results are pretty good.

The production cost of "Lincoln Lawyer" is 40 million, the current North American box office is 53.4 million, and the overseas box office is 25.33 million, basically achieving capital preservation. The production cost of "The Black Crazy Woman's Happy Family" is 15 million, and the current North American box office has exceeded 50 million, which is obviously a profitable movie.

The other four small-cost movies, "The Lady is So Poor" and "The Red State", have all grossed less than 10 million at the box office, with a loss of about 30 million, which is not too bad.

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

The bad news is that the total box office of films independently released by Lionsgate in the first half of the year was less than 200 million U.S. dollars. This result is not only unmatched by the six major studios, but also comparable to the three major studios, Pinnacle, Weinstein Pictures, and Relativity Media. Lionsgate has also changed from the seventh largest in Hollywood last year to the tenth largest.

“Take your time. At this stage, you only need to maintain the stability of the company and ensure that the work of several crew members is carried out normally. When we fully control Lionsgate, the situation will slowly improve.”

Linkra said, holding Ivanka's hand.

“One more thing, you bought two movies from the Cannes Film Festival last week. After several people in charge of the distribution department watched them, they thought that the quality of the movies was very average, and the normal distribution would definitely lose money. What do you think?”

Ivanka looked at his side face and asked.

“The thriller will be handed over to the production department for re-editing to see if there is a way to improve the quality of the film, and then take it to the movie theater near Chinatown to see if there is any potential. If the results are too poor, the screening will end immediately. For the other "Mr. Tree", I have some hype ideas, but I don't know if it is feasible. Tomorrow I will personally go to the distribution department to talk to them, and by the way, I will learn about the film distribution work from them.”

“That's okay.”

Ivanka nodded slightly. He heard that he was going to use a foreign movie to hype. Thinking of his past methods of hyping albums, he felt that the box office of this movie might have surprises.

“How can there be a smell of medicine?Are you hurt?”

Ivanka sniffed her fingers and asked.

“No!Help others apply medicine.”

“Woman?”

Ivanka blinked her curled eyelashes.

“How did you think it was a woman?”

Link was shocked by her keenness.

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

Ivanka bent the corners of her lips and said.

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

Eva Cajon snorted softly, and didn't ask any more questions.
