Domination in America, Starting from being a Boxing Champion-Chapter 620 - 457: Captain America Released (10/10) _4

Link, wearing a pair of headphones, flipped through the newspapers from the United States and said.

"I'm not interested in boxing, but what fascinates me is your training method. How do you train, and why do you keep swimming faster?"

Phelps frowned and sized him up before asking.

Link smiled lightly, folded the Los Angeles Times in his hands, and said, "It's because I'm more diligent in my training. I train for over fifty hours a week and my physical fitness has greatly improved."

"Over fifty hours a week?"

Phelps thought about it for a moment and shook his head. No one could do that. Practicing so much every day would wear out the body; it would be a waste of effort.

"Link, would you like to learn breaststroke, butterfly, and backstroke? I can teach you."

"Oh, and now you're willing to teach me?"

In the past, when he had planned to go to Boston to learn these three techniques from Phelps, Phelps always had excuses about not having time, only sending him some video materials without teaching him any core techniques.

"Don't ask too many questions. I'm currently ramping up my training at the swimming gym. Remember to come over when you have time, and we can train together," Phelps said.

"OK!"

Link nodded in agreement and continued to read the newspaper in his hands, mainly the movie news.

"Captain America" had grossed $118 million in North America and $102 million overseas in just seven days after its release, breaking even in its first week at the box office, which looked very good, performing much better than other films of its genre this year.

In the top ten box office rankings, there was also a movie starring Link, "Midnight in Paris," which after being released on June 10th, stayed in the top thirteen for seven consecutive weeks.

Its revenue slightly increased this week due to the influence of "Captain America."

With $1.89 million, it ranked tenth, accumulating $60.69 million in North America and approximately $114 thousand overseas, with the global box office expected to be close to $180 million.

Then there was "Bridesmaids" which had been delayed and ranked fourteenth at the weekly box office, earning $1.28 million.

With a cumulative North American box office of $137 million and overseas earnings of $208 million, after nearly three months of screening, its potential seemed exhausted, with a projected global box office of around $350 million.

Based on a $350 million global box office, Palm Beach Films, as one of the producers, received an income of approximately $75 million. Lionsgate Films, the distributor, made around $21 million, plus about $12 million in compensation from Warner Bros. Pictures.

The total revenue was about $108 million. After deducting the $20 million investment and about $7.5 million for marketing and distribution, the net income was close to $80 million US dollars.

Making $80 million in a little over two years, from an investment perspective, was a high-return investment.

For Link personally, it was rather ordinary.

Link flipped through other newspapers, intending to see how much negative news there was about him. After looking through, he couldn't find a single piece of negative coverage.

At most, film critics stated that his performance in "Captain America" was slightly below par compared to "Midnight in Paris."

Contrarily, there was plenty of flattering news.

USA Today praised his continued miraculous performance at the World Championships, first winning five gold medals in individual events, and then helping the US team win two more in relays, describing him as a deserving Captain America.

Variety magazine remarked that he performed well in "Captain America," naming him the best Captain America, and a highlight of the otherwise unremarkable film, contributing over 45% to the movie's box office success.

After going through them, Link indeed didn't find any negative articles about himself, nor any criticizing Taylor.

The incident involving him and Taylor a while back seemed to have never occurred.

Link smiled lightly and breathed a sigh of relief; that issue was finally behind him. The next time he went to see his child, he could do so with his head held high, without fear of Taylor's reactions.

Buzz buzz buzz!

They had arrived in Los Angeles; the plane gently landed at Los Angeles International Airport.

Upon exiting the airport, Link and the swimming team members received VIP treatment.

Hundreds of media reporters and over a thousand fans waited outside the airport to greet them, with reporters clamoring to interview Link and excited fans calling his name, seeking autographs and photos.

Link obliged them all and spent half an hour at the airport before saying goodbye to his teammates and getting into a car.

"Finally some peace and quiet,"

Link sighed as he closed the car door.

"Darling, welcome home,"

Hearing the voice, he turned his head and saw Ivanka approaching with a bunch of fresh flowers, her smile beaming.

With her blonde hair cascading down, she was dressed in the blouse and skirt ensemble she wore for work. Her cool and elegant face had a slight smile with uplifted red lips, lighting up the entire car. The air was filled with a peach-like fragrance.

Link smiled gently, couldn't help but reach out to embrace her, and lowered his head to kiss her rosy lips. Ivanka tenderly responded.

Mrs. Anna smiled and turned her head to look out the window at the sparkling sea.
