Chapter 232 231. Unexpected (Monthly Pass 1000+)
Feeling a little bit emotional, Li Du said: "I respect your acting skills, and I respect your hard work for your acting career, so I won't lie to you, I have a Batmobile here, I think you will like it. "
"The Batmobile?" Francis asked suspiciously, "You got it here? Are you also a treasure hunter?"
Li Du nodded and said, "Yes, you can go and have a look with me."
After hearing this, her bodyguard said cautiously: "If possible, I hope you can drive the motorcycle out. I hope you can understand that we don't want to enter an unfamiliar warehouse."
After all, he is a Hollywood actress, and Li Du understands the other party's concerns very well. There are many lunatics and psychopaths in American society, and they can do anything.
A woman with money, status and beauty like Francis naturally doesn't want to take risks.
He was about to nod, but the actress waved her hand and said, "It's okay, Kyle, this is Los Angeles, we just need to be careful, I don't think there is any danger here."
With the actress, they entered the No. 11 warehouse.
Li Du called Hans halfway, and Hans drove the treasure hunter out to prevent anyone from disturbing the actress.
His arrangement was correct, and the treasure hunters whistled or shouted when they saw Francis:
"Wow, it's really the queen of the movie, Francis McDormand!"
"I like your officer Margo Gunderson, Francis, give me an autograph!"
"The guys in Flagstaff City are getting bigger, when did they get in touch with Hollywood's high society?"
Jim York scolded: "Fuck, can these rednecks get in touch with Hollywood? Damn, they stole my contacts!"
Francis smiled and waved to the treasure hunters onlookers. Although he was in his fifties, his smile was still charming.
Knowing that the movie queen was coming, the treasure hunters who were cleaning up the warehouse rushed over one after another, and the door of No. 11 warehouse became bustling.
Seeing the motorcycle, Francis took off her sunglasses and walked over. She reached out to caress the motorcycle, then took the mobile phone from the bodyguard and searched online.
After searching, she called again with her mobile phone. About four or five minutes later, she put away her mobile phone and smiled at Li Du: "Batpod, you didn't lie to me. This is indeed Batpod."
Batpod is the name of the bat motorcycle chariot. In the movie, Batman rides this motorcycle on the streets of Gotham City.
Li Du asked: "Can you confirm its identity?"
Yorke added: "Maybe it's not the motorcycle in the movie, it's just a promo machine."
"Batman" is a major IP under the banner of DC Comics, with strong market potential. Warner Bros. has begun to focus on development. Last year, it just filmed "Batman: The Dark Knight", which will be released this year.
However, there is still some time before the release, and Warner Bros. Pictures is intensively promoting it.
Therefore, York's guess is not unreasonable. Under such circumstances, the film and television company will naturally prepare some model cars of the Batman chariot for publicity.
This is an issue that Hans is very concerned about. Li Du doesn't care. He has used the bug's ability to recreate the old times. This car is the original car in the movie!
Francis smiled and said: "Your words make sense, sir. As far as I know, several Batpods were built because of the needs of filming. Later, for publicity needs, many more Batpods were built."
York was overjoyed, and said, "I don't mean anything, Francis, I think you need to get in touch with your friends in the industry, and don't buy a worthless model machine and be laughed at by others."
Francis said: "Let me finish, thank you for your kindness, but I asked just now, Li is very lucky, the car they got is indeed the original car from the movie."
"Schete!" Frank, who heard the news, couldn't help cursing.
"Also, this one is special because it was designed for close-up shots of the Batpod," Francis said.
"What do you mean?" Someone asked.
Francis said: "This car is specially produced for close-up shooting. Compared with its brothers, it is naturally more refined in the details."
Hans was elated when he heard the words, and shouted, "In other words, this car is more valuable?"
Francis nodded and said, "Yes, you are very lucky to get this car. It was supposed to enter the Warner Film and Television Museum."
York was very jealous, and said: "You may have misread it, Francis, you have to think about it."
Francis shook his phone at him and said, "I didn't say that, it was Nathan Cluley and Chris Colebold."
"Oh, Nathan is the film art director of "The Dark Knight". He designed this car himself. Chris is the special effects director. He is the one who built this car." The actress added.
These words made York couldn't help moaning, and said jealously: "It's not true."
Francis ignored him. She studied the motorcycle and said:
"Just like the news I got, the chassis is custom alloy, the body material is silver-gray fiberglass, the tires are Bridgestone custom tires with a width of 89 centimeters, and the engine is a Honda 750, which is absolutely correct..."
"Haha, there are two cannons installed in the back of the car, but this thing is useless, it is made of plastic, resin and fiberglass, it is not practical."
"It's not bad though, the car has a laser sight on the right handlebar that should still work."
As she spoke, she pressed a button on the right handle, and a red laser shot out with a 'swoosh'.
Seeing this, Hans clapped his hands excitedly and cheered, "Oh! Missile launch!"
Although this car is a movie prop, but as Francis said, it is very well-made.
In addition, a radiator and a hydraulic shock absorber cantilever are installed under the seat, and the left handle and right pedal of the car are responsible for the braking system of the vehicle.
To enhance the rider's driving comfort, black foam inserts are placed on the bodywork, seat and knee protectors.
Francis is an expert in motorcycles. She walked around the car, checked the motorcycle from beginning to end, and introduced it.
After listening to her introduction, Li Du directly cut to the point: "Ma'am, I can see that you like this motorcycle very much. It is also a treasure, so I think you would like to keep it in your collection, right?"
Francis nodded briskly and said, "Yes, are you willing to sell? If so, then make an offer."
At this time, an electric car drove up to the door of the warehouse, and then a middle-aged white man with a bald head jumped down and sweated profusely, shouting: "Don't rush to sell, buddy, don't rush to sell!"
