After calming down a little, Ye Tian immediately started talking to the stall owner in front of him.
“Good afternoon, buddy. Are you an antique dealer from Los Angeles?”
“Hi! Good afternoon, Steven. You are right. I am indeed from Los Angeles, but I am not a **** like Cook! I am just a small antique dealer who makes a living!”
The stall owner nodded and laughed at himself, showing he was quite open-minded!
The reason why Ye Tian asked this was because of the goods placed on the stall in front of him.
What is sold here are all Hollywood movie souvenirs, promotional posters, costumes and props, scripts, novels, etc., as well as many movie peripheral products. There is a dazzling array of everything! a large amount!
And these souvenirs are basically antiques from before the 1960s, all from classic movies. There are very few movie souvenirs in recent decades.
In Ye Tian’s eyes, all the souvenirs here are emitting white light. The intensity of the light is different, indicating the age of their respective production.
There are no fakes here, but they are all fakes! Represents a history of light and shadow!
With the year determined, they are undoubtedly antiques. Their artistic value also needs to be determined. This is their value. Without artistic value, they will be worthless!
Fortunately, many souvenirs have more or less halos, representing their respective artistic values.
Most things only have two or three layers of halo and are not worth much, just tens or hundreds of dollars. Only a few items can be worth more than a thousand!
However, hidden among this pile of cheap antique movie memorabilia is a valuable treasure worth more than tens of millions of dollars!
This is the purpose of Ye Tian’s visit 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 so many antiques here! It’s so dazzling!”
Ye Tian said with a smile and joked with the stall owner.
“Hahaha, you’re right! These are all movie souvenirs from before the 1960s, including “Casablanca”, “Roman Holiday” and other famous movies.
But unfortunately, these movie souvenirs are not worth much, unlike the guy just now, who sold two Indian masks for $300,000! So enviable! ”
The stall owner smiled and nodded in response, then pointed to the first stall next to him. The jealousy in his eyes could not be concealed at all, and his eyes were a little red!
The same goes for other stallholders in the market, who are all looking at the stallholder selling masks with envy.
300,000 US dollars, what a huge fortune! It’s rare to see it once a year in this small market, so they can’t help but envy it!
But how could they have imagined that the major crisis hidden behind the $300,000 was not necessarily a blessing or a curse!
The stall owner of the first stall has already started to pack up his things and prepare to evacuate the place, then leave Jamestown and embark on a journey of escape!
Whether this stall owner lives or dies next, he has nothing to do with Ye Tian!
What he is concerned about now is how to seize the important treasure in front of him without anyone noticing! Make a fortune!
“Steven, are you telling the truth? This stall is full of antiques!”
A reporter next to him suddenly interrupted Ye Tian who was about to speak, his expression looked very excited!
“Yes, these movie souvenirs are basically antiques. If you like them, feel free to buy them. The price at which you can get them depends on your bargaining skills!
Let me make it clear that here are the souvenirs of my favorite movie actors. If our choices conflict, I will not give in or be polite. Let’s have a fair competition! “
Ye Tian explained a few words and also took a wave of vaccinations to prevent anyone from trying to **** the valuable treasure from him later.
“Awesome! I like Clark Gable, and I want to pick out a souvenir related to him to collect. This trip to Jamestown is really worth it!”
“Steven, tell me which movie star you like. As long as we don’t compete with you, or you pick first and we pick later, we can’t compete with you anyway!
Let me explain first, I like the great beauty Audrey Hepburn, and I am going to pick out a souvenir about her. With your help appraising it, how can I miss this great opportunity? “
Many reporters were interested in these souvenirs, and several police officers and the FBI were also a little eager to take action.
In the blink of an eye, many people had already walked to the stalls and started choosing their favorite souvenirs.
Seeing this scene, the stall owner was so happy that he almost couldn’t help but laugh so hard that his mouth split into the back of his head!
He was extremely grateful to Ye Tianze and secretly gave him a thumbs up several times!
This guy is so authentic! It actually brought me so much business, I will definitely make a small profit today!
Ye Tian is also ready to take action, lest someone else gets the valuable treasure first, and then he jumps out to compete, which will easily arouse the suspicion of the stall owner.
The guys who set up the stalls at the flea market are all human beings. If they feel something is wrong, they will most likely take the antique back immediately and not sell it, and then go back to find someone to appraise it and send it for auction!
If that happens, it will be very difficult, almost impossible, to get this valuable treasure at a low price!
Thinking of this, Ye Tian immediately said to everyone present:
“My favorite movie actor is Marlon Brando. I would like to collect some of his movie souvenirs. Please be mentally prepared. I may compete with you for Marlon Brando-related souvenirs.”
“Fortunately, it doesn’t conflict with my choice!”
“Damn it! I also want to buy souvenirs of Marlon Brando, okay, you choose first, who will give you more money!”
People who picked souvenirs responded that they were both happy and upset! There was also laughter.
Betty and Jason were a little surprised and couldn’t help but froze for a moment.
Don’t you like Al Pacino? When did you become Marlon Brando?
After being stunned for less than a second, they understood what was going on, and a hint of joy flashed in their eyes at the same time.
This guy must have found a valuable treasure, and it is related to Marlon Brando, so he made such an excuse and pretended to be a Marlon Brando fan! So cunning!
After Ye Tian finished speaking, he turned to the stall owner, pointed to several movie souvenirs on the stall and said:
“Man, can you take a look at these souvenirs? If there are any you like, I might buy a few!”
The souvenirs on the stall are divided into categories according to movie stars, making it easy to appreciate and select. He was referring to all souvenirs related to Marlon Brando.
“Of course, please take a look!”
The stall owner nodded happily and turned around to greet others.
The stall owner thinks that his goods are clean and he has no worries about being picked up by others. Even Steven, who is known for his sharp vision and deceiving sellers, has no chance!
So he walked away very relieved and didn’t think much about it.
This valuable treasure belongs to my buddy! Definitely not running! The stall owner’s attitude immediately made Ye Tian more confident.
He did not pick up the valuable treasure immediately, but picked up two other movie props.
A Roman general’s helmet and a sheathed Roman short sword.
The general’s helmet is a famous Roman Empire cavalry helmet with very comprehensive protection.
The helmet completely covers and protects the top of the head, and the cheeks on both sides and the back of the neck are also closely protected. The top of the helmet is a high-erected crest with black horsehair.
This helmet is very well made and is by no means a shoddy defective product. Although it has gone through decades of wind and rain, the helmet is still well preserved with no damage and is shiny!
A little regrettable is that the horse hair fell out a bit, which slightly affected the look and feel!
After looking at 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 centimeters!
But this is the sharpest weapon of the Romans, especially when this short sword is combined with a tall shield for close combat, it is absolutely unfavorable!
The Roman Empire relied on the impact tactics of throwing spears + daggers + shields and the professional military system to rule Europe for nearly a thousand years and established a huge territory.
Ye Tian did not draw out the dagger, but took a quick look through it and immediately grasped the situation of the prop dagger.
The length is only about 70 centimeters, the width is about 5 centimeters, and the blade length is only 50 centimeters. The preservation condition is not bad, but it is slightly blackened. Just wipe it off and it will be fine.
Although this is a movie prop, it was made strictly in accordance with historical records. Apart from the different materials and lack of lethality, it is not much different from a real Roman dagger.
The scabbard is also made in a simple and elegant way, with meticulous attention to detail, and the ancient Roman style is very rich! Saves well too!
These two movie props come from the 1953 epic movie “Julius Caesar”.
Marlon Brando plays a Roman hero, Caesar’s army commander and loyal follower, Mark Antony in this movie!
The helmet he wore and the dagger he used in the movie were these two props in Ye Tian’s hands.
Of course, they are definitely not used by Marlon Brando in the movie, they are just souvenirs released by the film company later!
Although Marlon Brando is not the protagonist of the movie, under his passionate performance, the most glorious period of Mark Anthony’s life was vividly displayed and perfectly presented to the eyes of movie fans around the world.
Through this, movie fans around the world got to know Mark Antony again, a very famous military strategist and politician in Western history.
Ye Tian carefully appreciated the two props and looked through them again.
Then, he took a step back from the stall, put the general’s helmet on his head solemnly, and picked up the Roman dagger that had just been returned to the stall. He held the scabbard in his left hand and placed it on his waist, while his right hand held the sword tightly. He held the hilt of the sword.
In an instant, he seemed to have turned into a Roman general who had survived hundreds of battles, with murderous intent!
However, the modern casual clothes below the general’s helmet immediately betrayed his identity and made his entire look look extremely weird!
Everyone was dumbfounded and stared at him dumbfounded, wondering what he was going to do?
Everyone standing next to him took a few steps back. With this **** dressed like this, who knows what trouble will happen? It’s better to stay away!
The next second, Ye Tian stood with his feet apart, raised his head to the right, raised his chin, and looked at the sky at a 45-degree angle, with a serious expression and resolute and deep eyes.
Immediately afterwards, he suddenly drew out his Roman dagger, waved his arm to the right along the direction and angle of his sight, and pointed the dagger in his hand directly at the sky.
At the same time, he also shouted loudly.
“For Rome!”
The scene was completely silent, and everyone was completely stunned. Only Ye Tian’s voice still echoed in the air.
