Li Du sighed and said, "I respect your acting skills, and I also respect the effort you put into your acting career. So I won't lie to you. I have a Batmobile here, and I think you'll like it."
"Batmobile?" Frances was puzzled. "You got it here? You're a treasure hunter too? "
Li Du nodded. "Yes, you can come with me to take a look."
Hearing this, her bodyguard said cautiously, "If it's possible, I hope you can drive the motorcycle out. I hope you can understand that we don't want to go into an unfamiliar warehouse."
After all, she was a Hollywood movie queen. Li Du understood her concern. There were many lunatics and psychopaths in American society. They were capable of anything.
Frances, a woman with money, status, and beauty, naturally did not want to take risks.
He was about to nod, but the movie queen waved her hand and said, "It's okay, Kyle. This is Los Angeles. We just have to be careful. I don't think there's any danger here."
With the movie queen in tow, they entered warehouse number 11.
Li Du called Hans midway, and Hans chased the treasure hunters out to prevent anyone from disturbing the movie queen.
His arrangement was correct. When the treasure hunters saw Frances, they whistled or shouted:
"Wow, the Movie Queen has really appeared, Frances McDormand!"
"I like your Officer Margo Gunderson. Frances, give me an autograph!"
"The guys from Flagstaff have made a name for themselves. When did they get in touch with the upper class of Hollywood?"
Jim York scolded, "F * ck, how can these country bumpkins get in touch with Hollywood? D * mmit, they stole my contacts! "
Frances smiled and waved at the treasure hunters. Although she was in her fifties, her smile was still charming.
Knowing that the movie queen had arrived, the treasure hunters who were cleaning up the warehouse rushed over. The entrance of warehouse number 11 became bustling.
Seeing the motorcycle, Frances took off her sunglasses and walked over. She reached out to touch the motorcycle, and then took the phone from the bodyguard and searched for something on the Internet.
After searching, she used the phone to make a call. After about four or five minutes, she put away the phone and smiled at Li Du. "Batpod, you didn't lie to me. This is really the Batpod."
Batpod was the name of the Batmobile. In the movie, Batman rode this motorcycle through the streets of Gotham City.
Li Du asked, "Can you confirm its identity?"
York added, "Maybe this isn't the motorcycle in the movie. It's just a model for publicity."
"Batman" was a major IP under DC Comics and had a strong market potential. Warner Bros. had already begun to focus on developing it. Last year, they filmed "Batman: The Dark Knight," which would be released this year.
However, there was still some time before the movie was released, and Warner Bros. was busy promoting it.
Therefore, York's guess was not unreasonable. In this case, the film company would naturally prepare some Batmobile models for publicity.
This was a question that Hans was very concerned about. Li Du did not care. He had used the little bug's ability to recreate the past. This car was the original car from the movie!
Francis smiled and said, "You're right, sir. As far as I know, a few Batpods were built for the movie. In the later stages, more Batpods were built for publicity purposes. "
York was overjoyed and said, "I don't mean anything else. Francis, I think you should contact your friends in the industry. Don't get laughed at for buying a worthless model."
Francis said, "Let me finish. Thank you for your kindness, but I've asked just now. Li is very lucky. The one they got is indeed the original car from the movie."
"Sh * t!" Frank, who had heard the news, could not help but curse.
Francis said, "Also, this one is special. It's specially made for close-ups of the Batpod."
"What do you mean?" someone asked.
Francis said, "This is the car that was specially made for close-range shooting. Compared to our brothers, the details of this car are naturally more refined."
Hearing this, Hans was overjoyed and exclaimed, "In other words, this car is even more valuable?"
Francis nodded and said, "Yes, you guys are very lucky to be able to get this car. It was supposed to go into the Warner Bros. Film Museum."
York was very jealous and said, "You might have made a mistake, Francis. You have to think about it carefully."
Francis shook her phone at him and said, "This is not what I said. It's what Natan Kreuler and Chris Colbert said."
"Oh, Natan is the 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.
York could not help but groan and said with jealousy, "This can't be true."
Francis did not pay any more attention to him. She started to study the motorcycle and said,
"Just like what I've heard, the chassis is custom-made alloy, the body is silver-gray fiberglass, the tires are 89-centimeter wide custom-made Bridgestone tires, and the engine is a Honda 750. There's no mistake about it …
"Haha, there are also two cannons installed at the back. But these things are useless. They are made of plastic, resin, and fiberglass. They are not practical.
"But it's not bad. There is a laser sight on the right handlebar. It should still be usable."
As she said this, she pressed a button on the right handlebar. A red laser shot out with a 'whoosh'.
Seeing this, Hans clapped his hands excitedly and cheered, "Wow! Missile launch! "
Although the motorcycle was a movie prop, as Francis had said, it was very well made.
In addition, there was a radiator and hydraulic shock absorber under the seat. The left handlebar and right pedals of the motorcycle were equipped with a brake system.
In order to improve the rider's comfort, the body, seat, and knee guards were placed with black foam pads.
Francis was an expert on motorcycles. She walked around the motorcycle, inspected it from start to finish, and introduced it to Li Du.
After listening to her introduction, Li Du went straight to the point. "Ma 'am, I can see that you like this motorcycle very much. It is also a treasure, so I think you are willing to keep it in your collection, right?"
Francis nodded happily and said, "Yes, are you willing to sell it? If you are, then make an offer. "
At this time, an electric scooter drove up to the entrance of the warehouse. Then a bald, middle-aged white man, sweating profusely, jumped down and shouted, "Don't be in such a hurry to sell, buddy, don't be in such a hurry to sell it!"
