Chapter 349: For Rome
After calming down a bit, Ye Tian immediately started talking to the stall owner.
"Good afternoon, buddy, are you an antique dealer from Los Angeles?"
"Hi! Steven, good afternoon, you guessed it, I'm indeed from Los Angeles, but I'm not Cook's kind of bastard! Just a little antique dealer who is eating everywhere!"
The stall owner nodded in response, laughed at himself a few words, and behaved very generously!
Ye Tian asked this because of the goods placed on the stall in front of him.
All sold here are Hollywood movie souvenirs, promotional posters, costume props, scripts and novels, etc. There are also many movie peripheral products, and there is a dazzling array of everything! many!
And these souvenirs are basically antiques before the 1960s, all from classic movies, and there are few movie souvenirs in recent decades.
In Ye Tian's eyes, all the souvenirs here are emitting white light, and the intensity of the light is different, showing the age of their respective production.
There are no fakes here, but they are all fakes! Represents a period of light and shadow history!
The year is determined, it is undoubtedly an antique, and its artistic value needs to be determined. This is where their value lies. Without artistic value, they will be worthless!
Fortunately, many souvenirs have more or less halo, representing their respective artistic values.
Most things only have two or three layers of halo, not worth much, dozens or hundreds of dollars, only a few can be worth more than a thousand!
However, in this pile of cheap antique movie souvenirs, there is hidden a treasure, a treasure worth more than ten million dollars!
This is the purpose of Ye Tian patronizing here, and it is also the reason why he is so excited!
"Man, you are definitely the biggest antique dealer at the Jamestown Flea Market. There are all antiques here! It's dazzling!"
Ye Tian said with a smile, joking with the stall owner.
"Hahaha, that's right! These are all movie memorabilia from before the 1960s, as well as memorabilia from famous movies such as "Casablanca" and "Roman Holiday".
But unfortunately, these movie souvenirs are not worth much. Unlike the guy just now, two Indian masks sold for 300,000 US dollars! It's so enviable! "
The stall owner smiled and nodded in response, and then pointed to the first stall next to him. The jealousy in his eyes could not be concealed, and his eyes were a little red!
The rest of the stall owners in the market are the same, all looking enviously at the stall owners selling the masks.
300,000 US dollars, what a fortune! It's rare to see it once a year in this small market, so they can't help but envy them!
But how can they think that the major crisis hidden behind 300,000 US dollars is not necessarily a blessing or a curse!
The owner of the first stall has already started to pack up and prepare to evacuate here, and then left Jamestown, embarking on a journey of escape!
The stall owner is dead or alive next, and has nothing to do with Ye Tian!
What he cares about now is how to unconsciously take the treasure in front of him! Make a fortune!
"Steven, is what you said true? This stall is full of antiques!"
A reporter next to him suddenly interrupted Ye Tian, who was about to speak, his expression was very excited!
"Yes, these movie souvenirs are basically antiques. If you like them, you can rest assured to buy them. At what price you can get them, it depends on your bargaining power!
To make a statement, here are souvenirs of my favorite movie actors. If our choices conflict, then I will not give in or be polite, let's play fair competition! "
Ye Tian explained a few words, and also took a wave of vaccinations, so as not to wait for someone to rob him of the treasure.
"Awesome! I like Clark Gable. I want to pick a souvenir collection related to him. The true value of this trip to Jamestown!"
"Steven, talk about you like that movie star. Everyone doesn't compete with you, or you pick first, and then we pick again. Anyway, we can't compete with you guy!
First of all, I like the great beauty Audrey Hepburn. I am going to pick a souvenir about her. With your help to identify it, how can I miss this good opportunity! "
There are quite a few reporters interested in these souvenirs, and several policemen and the FBI looked a little bit ready to move.
In a blink of an eye, many people have already walked to the stalls and started to choose their favorite souvenirs.
Seeing this scene, the stall owner was so happy that he almost couldn't find North, his mouth and fork cracked to the back of his head with a smile!
He was grateful to Ye Tian, and secretly gave a thumbs up several times!
This buddy is so authentic! I have brought so many deals to myself, and I will definitely make a small profit today!
Ye Tian is also ready to make a move, lest that heavy treasure be picked up first by others, and then jump out to compete by himself, which will easily cause the stall owner to suspect.
The guys at the flea market stall are all human beings. If they feel something is wrong, they will most likely take the antique back for sale immediately, and then look for someone to appraise it and send it for auction!
If so, it would be very difficult to win this heavy treasure at a low price, almost impossible!
Thinking of this, Ye Tian immediately said to everyone at the scene:
"The movie actor I like is Marlon Brando. I would like to receive a few of his movie souvenirs. Please be prepared mentally. I may compete with you for Marlon Brando's related souvenirs."
"Fortunately, it does not conflict with my choice!"
"Damn! I also want to buy Marlon Brando's souvenirs, well, you choose first, who will let you make more money!"
People who picked souvenirs responded one after another, both fortunate and upset! There was still laughter.
Betty and Jason were a little surprised, and they were taken aback.
Don’t you like Al Pacino? When did it become Marlon Brando?
After just froze for less than a second, they understood what was going on, and a flash of joy flashed in their eyes.
This guy must have discovered a valuable treasure, and it is related to Marlon Brando, so he made such an excuse to pretend to be a fan of Marlon Brando! It's too cunning!
After Ye Tian finished speaking, he turned around and found the stall owner, pointing to a few movie memorabilia on the stall and said:
"Man, can you take a look at these souvenirs? If I like them, I might buy some!"
The souvenirs on the stall are arranged separately according to movie stars for easy appreciation and selection. He refers to all the souvenirs related to Marlon Brando.
"Of course, please watch it!"
The stall owner readily nodded in agreement, and turned around to greet others.
Regarding his goods, the stall owner thinks that the door is clear, and he does not worry about being picked up by others. Even Steven, who is known for his sharp-eyed and cheating sellers, is nothing!
So he walked away very relieved, not thinking much at all.
This heavy treasure belongs to my buddy! Never ran! The attitude of the stall owner immediately made Ye Tian more assured.
He didn't get the heavy treasure in the first time, but picked up the other two movie props.
A Roman general helmet, a Roman dagger with a sheath.
The general helmet is the famous Roman Empire cavalry helmet with very comprehensive protection.
The helmet completely covers and protects the top of the head. The cheeks on both sides and the back of the neck are also tightly protected. The top of the helmet is a crown feather that is erected high with black horsehair.
This helmet is very well made, and it is by no means a shoddy defective product. Although it has gone through decades of wind and rain, the helmet is still well preserved, there is no damage, and it is shiny!
The slight regret is that the horse's mane has fallen a little, which slightly affects the look and feel!
After reading the helmet, Ye Tian then began to admire the Roman dagger in his hand.
As far as cold weapons are concerned, this is a relatively compact weapon, even the length of the sheath is only 80 cm!
But this is the sharpest weapon of the Romans, especially when this kind of short sword is combined with a tall shield to fight in close combat, it is absolutely no disadvantage!
The Roman Empire relied on the impact tactics of throwing guns, daggers and shields, as well as a professional military system, which ruled Europe for nearly a thousand years and laid a huge territory.
Ye Tian did not draw out the dagger, but took a quick look, and immediately grasped the situation of the prop dagger.
The length is only about 70 cm, the width is about 5 cm, and the blade length is no more than 50 cm. The preservation condition is not bad, but it is a little black, just wipe it off a bit.
Although this is a movie prop, it is made strictly in accordance with historical records. Apart from the difference in material and no lethality, it is not much different from the real Roman dagger.
The scabbard is also made of simple and elegant, meticulous, and very strong ancient Roman style! The preservation is also very good!
These two movie props are from the epic film "Caesar the Great" in 1953.
Marlon Brando plays a Roman hero in this movie, Caesar's army commander and loyal follower, Mark Anthony!
The helmet and dagger he wore in the movie were the two props in Ye Tian's hands.
Of course, they are by no means Marlon Brando used in the movie, but just souvenirs released by the film company!
Although Marlon Brando is not the protagonist of the movie, under his passionate interpretation, the most glorious period of Mark Anthony's life is fully demonstrated, perfectly presented to movie fans all over the world.
As a result, movie fans all over the world have re-acquainted Mark Anthony, a very famous military strategist and politician in Western history.
Ye Tian seriously appreciated the two props and looked through them again.
Then, he took a step back and forth from the booth, buckled the general's helmet on his head solemnly, and picked up the Roman dagger that was just put back in the booth. He held the scabbard in his left hand and placed it on his waist, while his right hand held it tightly. Hilt.
Suddenly ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ He seems to have become a Roman general who has survived more than a hundred battles, with a murderous spirit!
However, the modern casual wear under the general's helmet immediately betrayed his identity, making his whole look very strange!
Everyone was stupid, looking at him dumbfounded, not understanding what he was going to do?
The people standing next to him all stepped back, this **** dressed up like this, who knows what moth is going to come out again? It's better to stay away!
In the next second, Ye Tian straddled his feet, raised his head to the right, raised his chin, and looked at the sky at a 45-degree angle with a serious expression and firm and deep eyes.
Immediately afterwards, he suddenly drew out the Roman dagger, swung his arm to the right along the direction and angle of the line of sight, and pointed the dagger directly at the sky.
At the same time, he also shouted aloud.
"For Rome!"
The scene was silent, everyone was completely sluggish, only Ye Tian's voice still echoed in the air.
