Chapter 349: For Rome (Asking for a Monthly Pass, Asking for a Recommendation)

After calming down a little, Ye Tian immediately began to talk to the stall owner in front of him.

"Good afternoon, man, you're an antique dealer from Los Angeles, right?"

"Hi Steven, good afternoon, you guessed it, I'm from Los Angeles, but I'm not a Cook bastard!

The stall owner nodded in response, laughed at himself a few words, and behaved quite open-mindedly!

The reason why Ye Tian asked this was because of the goods placed on the stall in front of him.

The sale here is full of Hollywood movie memorabilia, promotional posters, costumes, props, scripts, etc., as well as a lot of movie merchandise!

And these souvenirs are basically antiques before the sixties of the last century, all from classic movies, and there are very few movie memorabilia in recent decades.

In Ye Tian's eyes, all the souvenirs here were radiating white light, and the intensity of the light was different, showing the age of their respective productions.

There are no fakes here, but they are all fakes!

The year is determined, it is an antique, and its artistic value needs to be determined, which is where their value lies, without artistic value, they will be worthless!

Thankfully, many of the souvenirs have a more or less halo that represents their artistic value.

Most things only have two or three layers of halos, which are not worth much, tens or hundreds of dollars, and only a few can be worth more than a thousand!

However, inside this pile of cheap antique movie memorabilia, there is a heavy treasure, worth more than 10 million dollars!

This is the purpose of Ye Tian's patronage here, and it is also the reason why he is so excited!

"Man, you're definitely the biggest antique dealer in Jamestown Flea Market, it's full of antiques!

Ye Tian said with a smile, joking with the stall owner.

"Hahaha, that's right! It's all movie memorabilia from the 60s, memorabilia from famous movies like Casablanca and Roman Holiday.

But alas, these movie memorabilia aren't worth much, unlike the guy just now, two Indian masks sold for $300,000!

The stall owner nodded with a smile, and then pointed to the first stall next to him, the jealousy in his eyes couldn't be concealed at all, and his eyes were a little red!

The rest of the stall owners in the market were all looking at the stall owners selling masks with envy.

$300,000, that's a lot of money! It's rare to see it once a year in this small market, and there's no way not to envy them!

But where could they have thought that the major crisis hidden behind the $300,000 is not necessarily a blessing or a curse!

The owner of the first stall has already begun to pack up his belongings and prepare to evacuate here, and then leave Jamestown and embark on a road of escape!

Whether this stall owner is dead or alive next, he has nothing to do with Ye Tian!

What he is concerned about now is how to unknowingly take down the heavy treasure in front of him! Make a windfall!

"Steven, are you telling the truth? This stall is full of antiques!"

A reporter next to him suddenly interjected, interrupting Ye Tian, who was about to speak, with an expression that looked very excited!

"That's right, these movie memorabilia are basically antiques, if you like it, then you can rest assured to sell, at what price you can take, it depends on your bargaining ability!

To be clear, here's a memento of what I like about movie actors, and if there is a conflict between our choices, then I won't back down or be polite, let's have a fair game!"

Ye Tian explained a few words, and also took a wave of preventive shots, lest someone grab the heavy treasure with him later.

"Great! I love Clark Gable, I'm going to pick a memorabilia related to him, it's worth it this trip to Jamestown!"

"Steven, tell me that you like that movie star, everyone doesn't compete with you, or you pick first, and then we pick, anyway, you can't compete with this guy!

First of all, I like the big beauty Audrey Hepburn, and I am ready to pick a souvenir about her, and I have you to help identify it, how can I miss this good opportunity!"

There are quite a few reporters who are interested in these memorabilia, and several police officers and the FBI are also a little nervous to watch.

In the blink of an eye, many people have already walked to the stalls and started to pick out their favorite souvenirs.

Seeing this scene, the stall owner was suddenly so happy that he couldn't find the north, and his mouth was even more cracked with laughter to the back of his head!

He was grateful to Ye Tian and secretly gave a thumbs up several times!

This guy is so authentic! He has brought so many orders of business to himself, and he will definitely make a small profit today!

Ye Tian is also ready to make a move, lest that heavy treasure be taken by others first, and then he will jump out to compete again, which will easily arouse the suspicion of the stall owner.

If you feel that something is wrong, you are likely to immediately take back the antique and not sell it, and then go back to someone to identify it and send it to auction!

If that's the case, it will be very difficult to get this heavy treasure at a low price, almost impossible!

Thinking of this, Ye Tian immediately said to everyone at the scene:

"My favorite movie actor is Marlon Brando, I want to receive a few pieces of his movie memorabilia, please be mentally prepared, I may compete with you for Marlon Brando-related souvenirs"

"It's okay, it doesn't conflict with my choice!"

"Damn, I want to buy a souvenir from Marlon Brando, okay, you choose first, who will make you pay more!"

The people who picked up the souvenirs responded one after another, some happy, some annoyed, and one laugh.

Betty and Jason were a little surprised and couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.

Don't you like Al Pacino, when did you become Marlon Brando?

After only 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 has something to do with Marlon Brando, so he came up with such an excuse to pretend to be a fan of Marlon Brando!

After Ye Tian finished speaking, he turned his head and found the stall owner, pointed to a few movie souvenirs on the stall and said:

"Man, can you take a look at these souvenirs, and if I like them, I'll probably buy some!"

The souvenirs on the stall are grouped separately by movie stars for easy viewing and selection, and he refers to all souvenirs related to Marlon Brando.

"Of course, please feel free to watch!"

The stall owner nodded happily in agreement, and turned to greet the others again.

For his own goods, the stall owner thinks that the door is clear, and he is not worried about being picked up at all, even Steven, who is known for his sharp eyes and killing sellers, has no fun!

So he walked away very reassuringly, not thinking much about it at all.

This heavy treasure is a buddy! Definitely didn't run! The stall owner's attitude suddenly made Ye Tian more determined.

He didn't go to get the treasure for the first time, but picked up two other movie props.

A Roman general's helmet, a Roman dagger with a sheath.

The general's helmet is the famous Roman Imperial cavalry helmet, and the protection is very comprehensive.

The helmet was completely covered and protected from the top of the head, as were the cheeks and the nape of the neck, and the top of the helmet was a crown feather with black horsehair tied high.

This helmet is very well made, 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!

It's a little regrettable that the horsehair has fallen off a little bit, which slightly affects the perception!

After looking at the helmet, Ye Tian then began to admire the Roman short sword in his hand.

As far as cold weapons are concerned, this is a relatively small weapon, and even the length of the sheath is only 80 centimeters!

But it was the sharpest weapon of the Romans, especially when this short sword and tall shield were combined in close combat, and it was absolutely invincible!

The Roman Empire ruled Europe for nearly a thousand years by virtue of the impact tactics of throwing spears + short swords + shields, as well as the professional military system, and laid a huge territory.

Ye Tian did not draw out the short sword, but took a quick look at it and immediately grasped the situation of this prop short sword.

The length is only about 70 cm, the width is about 5 cm, the blade length is not more than 50 cm, the preservation situation is not bad, but it is slightly blackened, just wipe it a little,

Although this is a movie prop, it is made in strict accordance with historical records, except that the material is different and there is no lethality, and it is not much different from the real Roman short sword.

The scabbard is also made of simple and elegant, meticulous, and the ancient Roman style is very strong!

These two movie props are from the epic 1953 film "Julius Caesar".

Marlon Brando plays a Roman hero, commander of Caesar's army and a loyal follower, Mark Anthony!

The helmet he wore in the movie and the short sword he used were these two props in Ye Tian's hands.

Of course, they are not used by Marlon Brando in the film, but are just souvenirs from the studio!

Although Marlon Brando is not the protagonist of the movie, under his interpretation, the brightest years of Mark Anthony's life are vividly displayed, perfectly presented in front of fans around the world.

As a result, fans around the world were able to reacquaint themselves with Mark Anthony, a very famous military strategist and politician in Western history.

Ye Tian carefully admired 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 with a solemn expression, and picked up the Roman dagger that had just been put back in the stall, holding the scabbard at his waist in his left hand and the hilt of the sword tightly in his right hand.

In the blink of an eye, he seems to have turned into a Roman general who has survived a hundred battles, and he is murderous!

However, the modern casual clothes below the general's helmet immediately betrayed his identity and made his whole look extremely weird!

Everyone was dumbfounded, looking at him dumbfounded, not understanding what he was going to do?

The people standing beside him all took a few steps back, this bastard dressed like this, who knows what the moth is going to come out of?

In 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 a resolute and deep gaze.

Immediately after, he suddenly drew his Roman short sword, waved his arm to the right, followed the direction and angle of his line of sight, and pointed directly at the sky with the short sword in his hand.

At the same time, he also shouted loudly.

"For Rome!"

The scene was silent, everyone was completely stunned, only Ye Tian's voice was still echoing in the air.
