Chapter 554: Huge reward
The curtains were closed, and the light in the conference room suddenly dimmed.
A beam of light shoots out from the portable projector on the table, hits the white curtain in front of the conference table, and faithfully reflects the picture on the laptop screen.
Everyone in the meeting room looked at the hanging white curtain, each pair of eyes was full of expectation, and their eyes were hot and hot!
In particular, Brandon, the curator of the Gardner Museum, was extremely excited. He stood up from his seat and walked forward two steps, wishing to put his eyes on the white curtain!
"Gentlemen, please pay attention. These videos and pictures will burn after you read them. Please read them carefully. There is only one chance. Don't miss it! Don't miss it!
When displaying video materials and related pictures, I will give a brief explanation and the most accurate appraisal opinions. Through the explanation, everyone can have a more comprehensive understanding of these top artworks! "
Before clicking to play the video, Ye Tian took a vaccination.
"I'm ready, Steven, let's start playing!"
Brandon helped his glasses, his excitement trembling.
"Okay! Gentlemen, the exciting time has come. 13 top artworks that have disappeared for more than two decades will be reproduced here. Please look at the projection screen!"
Ye Tian once again rendered the atmosphere, then clicked on the edited video and began to show the beautiful top antique artworks.
The projection screen changed, and a top-level painting familiar to everyone on the scene clearly appeared on the projection screen in front.
At the same time, Ye Tian's professional explanation and precise identification also followed.
"Look, everyone, this is the masterpiece of Rembrandt, the greatest painter in the 17th century in Europe and the greatest painter in the Netherlands..."
Only Ye Tian's voice echoed in the meeting room, other than that, there was a rapid breathing!
Everyone stared at the projection screen closely, their eyes were full of enthusiasm, and their excited faces were red. Brandon was even crying and showing signs of swinging!
"...After a long period of more than 20 years, this painting is actually intact. It must be said that it is a miracle. It is the luck of the Gardner Museum and also my luck!"
Explanations and precise identification continue to spread to everyone's ears, and more details of this top oil painting are also presented to everyone.
Many of these close-up shots were taken by Ye Tian from the perspective of a professional, coupled with post-processing technology, making this video very convincing, almost beyond doubt!
The video of the first painting finished playing quickly, and Ye Tian clicked the pause button to temporarily interrupt the playback.
He did this to give everyone an emotional buffer, so as not to get too excited and affect the effect of watching the follow-up content.
When everyone's mood calms down, it's not too late to play the follow-up content!
Obviously, this is a very correct approach.
"My God! This is 100% Rembrandt's "Storm on the Sea of Galilee", no doubt! I saw it every day when I was young, and it is impossible to admit it!"
Brandon muttered to himself in despair, his excited whole person was going crazy.
He has worked at the Gardner Museum for half his life. How can he not be ecstatic to see the reappearance of the top collection that has disappeared for more than two decades, and everyone even thinks that it no longer exists?
Fortunately, this old man has no heart disease, otherwise he will have to pass on the spot!
"Oh my God! It's "Storm of Galilee", and the preservation is so perfect, it's incredible. Steven is right. This is a miracle, a miracle for everyone!"
Isaac sighed constantly, looking drunk.
In addition to being the director of the Boston Museum of Art, he is also a well-known expert in appraisal. He has a sharp vision and can naturally quickly identify the authenticity of this painting!
Kelton and Joey were completely overwhelmed by ecstasy at this time, and they were almost unable to find North!
In their eyes, what they saw was not only the top-notch painting on the projection screen, but also the road to the sky and countless green dollars!
No matter what these things are, they are enough to make people crazy!
The other guys were the same, everyone was so excited that they almost cheered.
"Papa"
Ye Tian slapped his chin twice and awakened all the obsessed guys.
Everyone immediately turned their heads and looked at him, every look was different, there was gratitude, admiration, envy, and jealousy that could not be concealed! Multiple emotions coexist, very complicated!
"Gentlemen, this is just the beginning, the more exciting is yet to come! Next, you will see more top antique artworks, each of which is a boutique.
I hope you can control your emotions and don't get too excited, your body is the most important thing! I don’t want to interrupt the broadcast and send someone to the hospital. "
Ye Tian said jokingly, enlivening the atmosphere.
"Hahaha"
There was a burst of laughter in the conference room, the atmosphere was much more relaxed, and everyone's emotions relaxed.
"Steven, keep playing the video, my heart is strong enough to withstand this huge surprise and enjoy this sudden happiness!"
Brandon said cheerfully, his face full of impatient expression.
"OK! Then continue!"
Ye Tian nodded with a chuckle, and then clicked the play button.
The picture on the projection screen changed, and another Rembrandt appeared in front of everyone. Ye Tian's explanation and appraisal opinions were once again passed into everyone's ears, very clear and extremely firm!
As this video continues to play, Ye Tian is no longer the only voice in the conference room.
Exclamation, admiration, discussion, and professional commentary, all kinds of voices are endless, very lively!
The guys on the opposite side of the conference table all smiled brightly and full of sunshine. In their eyes, today is undoubtedly the most perfect day!
David and the others were all smiling, but their smiles were full of meaning, and they were kind of amused.
Looking at a few sunny guys opposite, Ye Tian said to himself:
"You can laugh while you can still laugh now! When you hear your buddies' request, I guess you won't be able to laugh out loud anymore. Don't fight with your buddies then!"
In a blink of an eye, four or five minutes passed, and this video was played to the final stage.
"...This is Degas's sketch "Three Riders", a beautiful painting, 100% authentic, no doubt!"
The voice fell, and the video screen stopped playing.
Brandon and the others were about to admire, when the picture on the projection screen suddenly changed, which shocked everyone!
The screen that stopped playing actually burned, and a red flame appeared out of thin air, pulsating and burning from the bottom, quickly burning Degas's paintings on the screen to ashes.
Immediately afterwards, another piece of De speeded up writing, the "Concert" created in 1884 appeared on the screen again, and it was burnt to ashes in an instant.
This is not the end. The 13 top art pieces stolen in the Gardner Museum in 1990 appeared on the projection screen one by one, and they were all torched without exception!
"what--!"
A few guys on the opposite side stood up with a loud exclamation, staring at the projection screen one by one, with horrified expressions on their faces!
Brandon's veins were even more exposed, and his eyes were almost cracked. It seemed that he was ready to rush forward at any time and tore the white curtain.
Even David and the others were taken aback by this picture and almost jumped from their seats.
They didn't expect Ye Tian to play such a hand, and it was so eye-catching!
"Gentlemen, don't worry, this is just a special effect that burns after reading! It is made to relieve everyone's boredom, how about it, realistic and exciting enough?
Please rest assured that those top artworks have not been damaged in any way and are still intact in the warehouse on the video, waiting for us to expel them together! "
Ye Tian explained with a light smile, a little smug in his tone.
This is the special effect he asked Kenny to do. In addition to entertainment, he also reminded Brandon what they meant.
You accept the terms I made, this is a joke! Just entertain!
If you don't accept my terms, and even plan to throw away the buddies and swallow these top art works, no one can guarantee that this joke will become a reality!
Everything is possible!
"call--!"
The few guys on the opposite side took a breath and sat down, their expressions of horror quickly disappeared from their faces.
But thinking about the picture just now, each of them still has lingering fears!
What would that **** Steven do? Burning all the top antique artworks, although the possibility is very small, it seems that it cannot be ruled out!
God knows what crazy behavior that **** will do! No one can guess!
After calming down a bit, Brandon grinned and cursed:
"Steven, you're such a bastard, did you make a joke like that? Even if I don't have a heart disease, I was almost scared of it just now!"
"Hahaha~www.wuxiaspot.com~Blanton, proper fright and stimulation should be good for your physical and mental health. You should be thankful instead of calling me a bastard!"
Ye Tian laughed and said, very relaxed.
"Of course I want to thank you, but thank you for helping us retrieve these top art pieces that have been stolen for more than two decades. This is very important to the Gardner Museum! Thank you so much!
The empty picture frames hanging in our museum can finally be removed! When these stolen famous paintings return to the museum, the Gardner Museum is truly reborn!
After the theft occurred in 1990, we offered a reward of 5 million U.S. dollars to find the whereabouts of these artworks. After more than 20 years, the reward amount has increased to 20 million U.S. dollars.
As long as this case is resolved and 13 top artworks return to the Gardner Museum, the $20 million reward will be yours, Steven, we will cash it out immediately! Never break your promise! "
Brandon said with a serious expression, very earnestly.
Hearing these words, the eyes of everyone on the scene suddenly brightened, and they looked at Ye Tian one after another, each pair of eyes full of envy.
20 million dollars! What a huge wealth, who can't envy it?
But Ye Tian, as the person involved, did not show too much excitement, just smiled softly.
"Blanton, let's not talk about the reward for the time being, let's watch the video material first. I also have a video of stolen antique art at the Boston Museum of Art, and a video of stolen antique art at the Harvard University Museum.
Didn't you see it? Isaac and Robert can't wait! After watching all the videos, let's talk about the rewards, there will be time, you can sit down and talk slowly! "
While saying this, Ye Tian also secretly said in his heart:
"Twenty million dollars I want to send my buddies! Dreaming, there are no doors!"
