Conquer America, Start with a Boxing Champion

Bang, bang, bang!

In the Muscle Beach training ground, Link, wearing a palm bandage, alternately hit the special sandbag with his fists, making a dull sound, as if every punch could blow up the sandbag.

From 2008 to 2012, during these four years, Link insisted on training every day, and his strength, speed, endurance, reaction ability, and other physical qualities have been greatly improved.

Some have doubled from the original basis, some have tripled or quadrupled, and the ability to recover after physical fatigue or injury has also become stronger and stronger.

Continuing to train, Link feels that he may become a little superman.

"Hey, Link, why did you come to the club to train today."

Hoya walked in wearing a T-shirt and shorts, with a white towel around his neck.

"I have time today."

Link put away his fist and said.

"Really? Don't have to take care of the children today? Hehe, I saw the news that you have been a stay-at-home dad recently."

Hoya joked.

While talking, Bernard Hopkins also walked in and stared at Link with a dark face.

Although the match had been over for nearly half a year and Hopkins had recovered from the injury he suffered in the match, every time he saw Link, his face would regress and become darker, as if the psychological trauma caused by Link was still there.

"Hey, Bernard, I heard that you participated in the WBC boxing champion qualifying match. I hope you can get the title of boxing champion challenger."

Link greeted.

"Humph, Link, don't be complacent. In the next match, I will definitely defeat you and take back what belongs to me from you."

Hopkins said with his fists clenched tightly.

Link nodded, thinking that this guy had good psychological quality. He was beaten so badly last time, but he still dared to shout like this. He was a tough guy.

After greeting, Link continued to train.

Hopkins glared at him and prepared to train in the training area next to him.

De La Hoya looked at him and asked curiously, "Bernard, next time you meet that pervert, do you have the confidence to beat him?"

"No!"

Hopkins said unhappily, Link that bastard is too powerful, all the boxing qualities are higher than his, even in his heyday, I am afraid he can't last six rounds in his hands.

"Then you dare to grin at him, aren't you afraid of being beaten up by him next time you meet him?"

De La Hoya asked.

Hopkins' eyes twitched, and he touched the bridge of his nose that had grown back. Although the injury was healed, the pain was still fresh in his memory. He couldn't help but glared at Link not far away, and said with all his strength:

"I'm not afraid, next time I meet him, I will knock his nose crooked."

"Not bad, not bad, Bernard, now all the boxers in the light heavyweight field are afraid of Link except you. I hope you can create a miracle and beat him hard."

De La Hoya encouraged.

Defeat Link?

Hopkins was not very interested, but facing the boss De La Hoya, he did not refute. After wrapping his hand bandage, he also started to punch in front of the sandbag.

After practicing for half an hour, he was ready to rest, but found that Link was still practicing, and he never stopped from beginning to end. He curled his lips unhappily, took a deep breath, and continued to punch.

He couldn't beat Link in the boxing ring, and he didn't believe that he would lose to Link in training.

Twenty minutes later, Hopkins was sweating all over, panting with his mouth open, his arm muscles trembling constantly, and his physical strength was only one tenth of what it was.

He glanced at Link next door and found that the guy was still banging the sandbag, and he never stopped from beginning to end. His boxing was very powerful, his steps were still very flexible, and he didn't sweat much, let alone breathe heavily.

Hopkins was very angry. Is this bastard a pervert?

He didn't want to be outdone by Link, so he gritted his teeth and continued to hit the sandbag. After more than 20 minutes, he felt that the blood vessels and muscles in his arms were about to burst, but Link still had no intention of stopping.

Hopkins roared angrily and punched the sandbag. Then a sharp pain came from his wrist. He hissed and quickly supported his right wrist. The right wrist joint suddenly swelled up, became red and swollen, and the muscles of his forearm also felt a burst of pain.

Fuck! Hopkins cursed and hurriedly ran to the medical center with his right arm.

"Hey, Bernard, how did you do this?"

De La Hoya was instructing the boxer to train nearby, and asked in surprise when he saw Hopkins' wrist.

Hopkins was sweating profusely from the pain, and he didn't want to pay attention to him at all. He shouted "doctor" and went into the infirmary.

De La Hoya was stunned for a moment, turned his head to look at the place where Hopkins was training, and Link who was still insisting on training next to him, and shook his head helplessly. This pervert is indeed a disaster.

"Link, why don't you go to your exclusive training ground to train?"

"Practicing boxing here, the atmosphere is better."

Link stopped and said.

"But it's dangerous for you to train here, it's easy to get others hurt."

Hoya said unhappily.

Because of Link's existence, several new boxers under his command were reimbursed before they even got on the stage to compete, and several old boxers were injured because of training with him and had to end their careers early.

Link is a dangerous person, who can reimburse a group of boxers under his command without taking action.

This guy is the enemy of Golden Boy Promotions.

Link shrugged his shoulders, took a water cup and a towel and returned to the exclusive training ground to continue training.

Compared with the public training ground, the atmosphere here is a little worse. There is no sound of fists hitting sandbags, no shouting, and it feels almost the same as training in the training ground of the villa in the middle of the mountain.

After training for a while, Emma Roberts came to train in a vest and hot pants, carrying a sports backpack.

Having trained with Link more than ten times in the training ground, she now has a certain level of boxing. She has also filmed two action movies, in which she played a girl who can box and beat up her ex-boyfriend.

But her figure is still petite, less than 160 cm, with chopstick legs, a small waist, and pink cheeks, like a little loli who can box.

As usual, Link gave her some pointers, taught her some fighting skills, and then continued training.

After the afternoon training, he walked into the locker room to change clothes. Emma Roberts came over with a red face, holding a bottle of essential oil, and asked him if he wanted a massage. Her expression was very shy, and her bright face and eyes were full of expectations.

Link did not refuse her kindness.

After venting his anger on Emma, ​​Link felt that all the fatigue caused by the training disappeared. Afterwards, he kindly sent Emma home, who was not convenient to drive.

Originally, he thought that after this incident, Emma would be afraid of him like Scarlett Johansson, but she was not.

After a few days of rest, Emma returned to the training ground to accompany him to train, help him massage his muscles and relax his body, which also gave him an interesting program every time after training.

In May, "The Avengers" will be released soon. In addition to taking care of children, training, and asking about the affairs of several companies every day, Link will also participate in some movie promotion activities.

On May 4, "The Avengers" was released in 4,349 theaters in North America, with a box office of 80.81 million US dollars on the first day, setting a new box office first-day record. It earned 207 million US dollars in North America over the three days of the weekend, becoming the fastest movie to break 200 million US dollars.

The 42 countries and regions where it was released overseas simultaneously had a total box office of 317 million US dollars in three days.

The production cost of "The Avengers" was 220 million US dollars, and it paid back in three days. This result shocked people in the industry.

In the past few years, the Marvel movies, except for the Iron Man series and Captain America, have been a big hit. The box office performance of the other movies is relatively average, such as The Incredible Hulk and Thor.

This movie directly broke many box office records in the North American film market, which surprised countless people and made them envious of the film distributor Walt Disney.

The Avengers is very suitable for being a series of movies. As long as Disney Pictures makes it carefully, it can make a lot of money with this series, just like Lionsgate's The Hunger Games.

In the summer season, there are still more than 400 theaters left to show The Hunger Games, with a weekly box office revenue of millions of dollars, ranking in the top 20 in the same period.

The current North American box office of The Hunger Games has reached 462 million US dollars, while the overseas box office has reached 346 million US dollars, and the global box office has just exceeded 800 million.

In terms of revenue ratio, The Hunger Games is more profitable than The Avengers, and it is more enviable to its peers.

In April and May, Lionsgate also released two movies, The Cabin in the Woods and The Complete Guide to Pregnancy.

The first one is one of Lionsgate's main thriller movies this year, which was released in mid-April.

The North American box office has reached 40.81 million US dollars, and the overseas box office is 35.57 million. The production cost of the film is 35 million, and it is expected to make a profit of about 20 million at the box office, and the income from videotapes, Netflix channels, cable TV, etc. is not less than 20 million.

The second film, "Pregnancy Guide", starring Cameron Diaz, Jennifer Lopez, Elizabeth Banks, Amy Adams and other older actresses, tells the story of the disagreements between five families in the face of pregnancy and children.

The film was initially killed because of its high investment. Later, Eva Ka was pregnant and felt that the script was very interesting, so she restarted the project.

The production cost was 40 million US dollars. It took 36.4 million US dollars in the North American film market in two weeks after its release, and more than 30 million in overseas box office. It is expected to break even at the box office and earn tens of millions in other aspects.

Including these two films, as well as Silver Linings Playbook and The Help released at the end of last year, Lionsgate's box office revenue in North America this year reached 660 million US dollars, which is higher than 20th Century Fox and Paramount Pictures.

Ranked fifth among Hollywood film companies in the first quarter.

This achievement also made the media praise Lionsgate. The "Big Six" are all old film companies with a history of hundreds of years, while Lionsgate was founded in 1997 and has been 15 years old. Compared with the Big Six, it is just a teenager.

However, in terms of movie box office, Lionsgate was able to surpass the two major film companies and enter the top five. This has never happened before.

The Los Angeles Times and other media said that Lionsgate created a "box office miracle" and were amazed at the way Link and Eva Ka run the company.

Those who were hostile to Link were so angry that they gnashed their teeth and cursed Link for being lucky and hoped that he would be unlucky soon.

In this regard, Link asked everyone not to be proud during a company meeting. A temporary victory is nothing. If you can stay in the top five for a long time, it will be a real victory. Everyone should continue to work hard to achieve this goal.

At the same time, in order to motivate the company's employees, he also proposed a series of reward measures, about 10 million dividends, to make the working atmosphere within the company more uplifting.
