Chapter 29: Warming Wonder Woman
"This painting is indeed a painting by Baron Leiden."
There was no need for a magnifying glass or anything, Diana scanned it and was sure that it was definitely Baron Morey's painting, she had worked in several museums in New York for a long time, and her eyes were better than ordinary people's, so she looked at a few paintings of Baron Morey in advance, and in contrast, she was sure that this painting could not be faked.
"As for this mirror, it's not a Victorian thing."
Andy almost blew up when he heard it, Konstantin was really lying to him!
"This mirror is handed down from a more ancient era, and it is presumed to be something from the Sixteenth World, from England, but this kind of inscription on the mirror is not the mainstream text, so this mirror can't tell who the original owner is."
Yo, is Konstantin still a good comrade, a sixteenth-century mirror is worth a lot even if it is used by an ordinary nobleman.
"Both items can be collected in our collection, but I have a question for you, where did these collections come from?"
The collection only needs to make sure that the current owner is not stolen and can accept it, as for the earlier records, they will not care, so the last time the black cat Felicia said that she would come with Andy, although Diana despised her, she signed a statement of origin and accepted it.
It's just to shirk responsibility.
"The previous crown and this painting are from my friend Nando, who is a collector, and this mirror is from John Constantine, both to support my film career."
The people at the Monroe Museum had already found out in advance what Andy was doing, so Diana almost laughed when she heard Andy say this, the first time she heard that someone had sold antiques for filming.
It's pure nonsense, but although she thinks that Andy Huang fooled her, she is not ready to pursue it, she is just going through the motions.
"Well, you just need to write a statement, the estimate for this painting is $7.8 million, and this mirror is ancient but because there is no information about the user, the estimate is only $1.2 million, if you agree, we can sign a contract of intent, and then you can take these two treasures to our collection for final confirmation and appraisal, and if there is no problem, you can sign a formal contract."
Hearing Diana say this, Andy was sure that she didn't know Konstantin, and as for the price, Andy didn't understand it originally, but he always felt uncomfortable without bargaining.
"Is it $9 million? I think it's lower, and the total price of $10.8 million is a little better. β
Diana shook her head and said, "Sorry Andy, can't give this offer. β
"Hey, Diana, you know, I was running around for the movie 'Apollo,' don't you also like Greek mythology? You should support me, right? β
Diana shrugged her shoulders and said that she couldn't help, after confirming Andy's identity today, she really didn't want Andy to make this drama, for fear that Andy's artistic taste would be too strong.
"Well, then I can only save costs, Zeus, the old bastard, can't appear, the Temple of the Gods can't appear, the size of the Immortal Warriors must be reduced, and the role of the evil race of Amazon female warriors who like to play with men will also be reduced..."
With a bang, Andy's chatter was interrupted by the sound of Diana's fist hitting the table, and when he looked up, the girl's eyes were already full of anger.
The fish are starting to bite the hook!
Andy, of course, knew why she was angry, but he still pretended to be innocent and wondered, "Diana, what's going on?" β
"Amazon female warriors are the bravest and most righteous warriors, not some evil race!"
"I didn't make it up, it was recorded in ancient books, I have to respect history, Diana, you can't just say black is white just because you're a woman."
In fact, Andy also has a question, whether the Amazonian female warriors on Paradise Island need a certain daily life, it stands to reason that they are needed, but Paradise Island is full of women, so it shouldn't be all lace.
"You don't understand that the Amazonian warriors once made great sacrifices to defend the earth from the dark forces, and those ancient books are all chasing after the wind."
This time it's Andy shrugging.
"I'm sorry, but my story is based on historical records, and I can't change it casually."
Hearing Andy say this, Diana took a hard breath and gritted her teeth: "I promise you the offer, you must change the Amazon female warrior to a righteous race." β
"For $13 million, I'll set the Amazonian warriorwoman as the guard of Athena and Artemis."
In fact, there would not have been Amazonian female warriors in the play, and replacing the guards with Amazonian female warriors only needed to shoot some green screen shots and then digitize them, and it didn't cost a few dollars.

Andy's heart is happy!
He actually played the famous demigod Wonder Woman!
"Thank you Diana, you're as supportive of my film career as my friends, or invite you to dinner."
With a revenge mentality, Diana said hatefully: "I'll choose the restaurant!" β
...
The most important thing in Beverly Hills is a high-end restaurant, and Diana chose a three-Michelin-starred French restaurant, and Andy recognized it when he was in a good mood.
Fortunately, in addition to the snail foie gras, which is only a few hundred dollars, the most expensive bottle of old man's head is less than a thousand dollars, which does not cost a few dollars.
After ordering, Andy looked at Diana with an unhappy face, and said with a smile: "Diana, do you still think that there are Greek myths that are true?" β
This sentence is a temptation, in fact, Andy is more familiar with the Marvel plot and less familiar with DC, and wants to know where the plot has developed.
On this topic, Diana didn't want to say more, but she was afraid that Andy, who made a small movie, would make random adaptations in the future, so she decided to reveal a little bit of the inside story to Andy.
"That's for sure, because I'm a researcher of antiquities, and I've studied a lot of ancient artifacts, and found that Greek gods and heroes really existed, and they fought against aliens in ancient times."
This is supposed to be the story of Darkseid's invasion of Earth, and Andy knows the inside story, but continues to lead.
"Really? That is, the Earth has been invaded by aliens more than once? β
Diana nodded: "Yes, so, we should thank them for sheltering us from the wind and rain." β
"Thor, the god of thunder, has appeared, but why haven't I seen the Greek gods appear? Where the hell did they go? β
As soon as she said this, Diana's heart was touched, and her eyes were gloomy: "Maybe they all fell in the God War, but there must be a legacy." β
It wouldn't be nice for any of the adults in the family to die, but Andy remembers that in the DC setting, there is a plot that Zeus and his gang did not die, but went to other dimensions.
"Hehe, Diana, show you something good."
Andy said as he showed his phone to Diana.
"Wow! Is this the Temple of the Gods! β
Andy outputs a 3D map when he looks at the file, and puts it in his mobile phone to look at it from time to time to find problems, such a beautiful model is too suitable for pretending.
"Yes, I spent more than 20 million on modeling the Temple of Olympia for the filming of "Apollo", and this temple of gods is 3.1 million, right?"
"It's perfect!"
The scenery of Paradise Island is also good, but it is certainly not as fantastical as this one, and it is normal for Diana to be attracted.
"Look at me again in the Apollo Divine Realm."
After flipping through the map of the Temple of Apollo, Diana directly took Andy's mobile phone, then buried her head in a careful look, and then looked up after a while before she looked up and said, "Andy, I finally believe that you really like Greek mythology." β
Looking at Diana's convincing eyes, Andy said: "Diana, not only to make movies, but I am also going to build a temple in San Fernan to worship these gods, which is why I sold these two cultural relics." β
After Andy finished speaking, Diana suddenly felt a hot current flow from her heart and quickly reach every part of her body.
"It's so warm, it's not there since Steve died."
"No, it's not love, it's the feeling of a confidant!"
Of course, Andy couldn't guess Diana's inner activities, but the eager eyes made Andy feel that he should also have a relationship with her?
