The shop owner was surprised, thinking, this is a stupid person with a lot of money, and he made up his mind to buy it after persuasion and blocking
He emphasized, "I've run out of words. This is a consignment sale, and the money is in my hands once. If I go back on my word, even if the item is put in front of me, the money will not be refunded!"
Yu Nian said politely, "Thank you boss, but I really want to buy this cup."
After stroking his two beards, the shop owner didn't try to persuade him anymore. After all, there is no business, "That's it, I'll sell it to you. Take a look at my shop, do you have anything else you want? Discount for you! Look at this enamel…”
Yu Nian listened patiently for a few words, then interjected appropriately, "No, I only buy this, and I won't buy anything else."
"Okay, I'll wrap it up for you!" The shop owner also asked, "Do you want to wash the mud on it?"
"Thank you, just wrap it up, no trouble."
The director was still gesturing and discussing with the lighting engineer. Yu Nian held the porcelain cup he bought and found Meng Yuan, "Brother Meng, can you please keep it for me first?"
Seeing Yu Nian's solemnity, Meng Yuan was curious, "The staff just said that you bought a broken porcelain bowl for 25,000 yuan, and this is it? Is there any history?"
"It's not a porcelain bowl, it's a porcelain cup. But I'm not sure about the specifics yet. I have to go back and study it."
As soon as he heard this, Meng Yuan knew that this thing must be interesting, so he responded, "Okay, you can shoot commercials with peace of mind, I'll keep it for you, and I'm sure it won't hit or fall."
However, Yu Nian's advertising shots have not yet finished filming. On the other side, the news that Yu Nian bought a broken porcelain bowl for 25,000 yuan in an antique shop in Ningcheng Ancient Street was quickly forwarded by major marketing accounts.
An account called "Daily Breaking News" was the first to post on Weibo, "It is reported that Yu Nian did not listen to dissuasion during the filming of commercials and bought a porcelain bowl for 25,000 at an antique handicraft shop in the ancient street. What do you think? "
"—Isn't this too much money to spend? Can you trust the things in the ancient street? You can buy a bowl for 25,000. I think 25 is too expensive! I have to pay the IQ tax!"
"-I was really cheated, the boss must be blowing the hype, what is this old thing 1,800 years ago, used by the emperor! It's worth the money! It not only keeps the capital, but also increases in value! I can make up a hundred such words. When the version comes out, the common sense and IQ of entertainment stars are really worrying!"
"—Yu Nian is working diligently on the character design? When he first debuted, he made the noble man's character design. After being dismantled and couldn't afford the takeaway, he went to the inspirational character design. Later, inexplicably, a lot of news came out, probably because the team was reluctant. The avatar of your son is starting to go in the direction of a rich and wealthy antique connoisseur. But spending 25,000 yuan to buy things from an ancient street handicraft store is too much for a f*cking avatar!"
Not long after, Yu Ji went to the ancient street to interview the owner of the antique shop and ask for details. The shop owner didn't hide anything, and he roughly repeated the conversation carefully. After the interview clip was released, #余年被恶# quickly became a trending search.
"—#余年被恶# Ah, every year! We have money, but we don’t spend it like this! The boss said that whoever buys it gets 250, why are you so stupid!"
"—#余年被恶# When it’s over, the boss said that the money has already been given to the old lady, and I can’t get it back. I feel sorry for Niannian! Buy it back and wash it, and it should be able to drink water, but before filling the water, you must remember to disinfect it! God knows Where did that black-hearted old lady find this broken bowl!"
"—#余年被被# This can also be on the hot search? Didn’t I say that this person is a little too confident? The shop owner tried his best to persuade him not to buy it, or he would be cheated. Yu Nian still insisted on buying it. Okay. , Whoever makes someone rich is probably inflated, thinking that his eyes are so good that he can search for diamonds in the sand!"
Meng Yuan scrolled through the comments and concluded, "Your fans love money for you, worry that you will be cheated, and let you have a snack next time. They all want to stop you from paying. The cynics are basically passers-by and sunspots, It’s nothing more than those kinds of sentences.”
As he said that, seeing Yu Nian holding the porcelain cup carefully, Meng Yuan was curious, "Niannian, is this thing really worth twenty-five thousand?"
He has suffered losses and lost money in antique collection and investment, and he knows that his eyesight is not good enough. However, he quite believed that Yu Nian, a person who bought clothes by the dollar, could not spend money recklessly.
Yu Nian's eyes were fixed on the porcelain cup, his expression was calm. Listening to Meng Yuan's question, he shook his head, "Not only."
Meng Yuan's eyes lit up, "More than that? Is that worth 250,000? You're making double the money!"
Yu Nian still shook his head, "Not only."
Meng Yuan took a breath, and tentatively asked, "Two and a half million?"
Looking away, Yu Nian bent the corners of his eyes, smiling at the mole at the corner of his eyes. He smiled and said, "Brother Meng, you can guess a little more."
People in Meng Yuan are not well, with trembling fingers, pointing to the dirty porcelain cup held in Yu Nian's hand, "Two... twenty-five million?"
Without nodding, Yu Nian opened his lips and said a number, "250 million."
Meng Yuan's eyes fluttered, and he couldn't find his voice for a while, "How much...how much? How much did you say?"
Yu Nian repeated patiently, "250 million. This is a Doucai chicken stone cup. If it goes up for auction, the starting price should be around 180 million. So I estimated the price at 250 million. The transaction price may be higher, but it will not More than three hundred million."
After a long while, Meng Yuan said in a trance, "I always feel that since I cooperated with you, the threshold for stimulating me with money is getting higher and higher!"
He felt that even if he faced gold and silver in the future, he should be calm and composed. After all, he was the one who once held a broken cup worth 200 million yuan for a long time!
After hearing Meng Yuan's words, Yu Nian laughed, "But I'm not sure if it's true or not, I have to go back and study it."
Meng Yuan answered, "A gamble?"
"It's not a gamble. Even if it's an imitation, the level of imitation is completely worth the price of 25,000, or even far more than 25,000."
Yu Nian frowned slightly, feeling strange, "It's just the store owner's words, which made me feel that something was wrong. If the consignor is the owner of this cup with a colorful chicken stone pattern, then it is impossible for her not to know the true value of this cup. Not to mention consigning it in a small shop in the ancient street so casually. Moreover, judging from what the shop owner said, the owner of the cup gave him a very bad impression."
Meng Yuan didn't think too much about it, "If it's really the real thing, it's a good thing you bought it, otherwise the treasure will be covered in dust, and it will even be broken if you are not careful, what a pity!"
There was still a lot of time left before the premiere, so Yu Nian simply called and asked Rong Yue to have dinner at a private restaurant.
In the box, before Rong Yue arrived, Shen Wei came from the back kitchen to see Yu Nian, his face was full of joy, "Young master hasn't come for a long time!"
Yu Nian smiled gently, "I'm sorry, Uncle Shen, it's been a long time since I've been here. I was too busy a while ago, so I couldn't keep going."
"It's the movie with Ms. Yu Qing, right? I saw it on the news. The young master looks very good in ancient costumes. Ms. Yu Qing played the role of the female general, and she acted in her true colors."
Yu Nian tasted the small pastries Shen Wei specially made for him, and laughed, "Yes, when my sister was young, she always wanted to be a female general or a heroine, anyway, she beats people with knives and swords!"
Both of them remembered the past in the Sining mansion and laughed.
Rong Yue came over quickly, and as soon as he entered the door, he kept saying, "Niannian, what treasure did you pick up? I read the news, saying that you bought it at an antique handicraft shop in the ancient street?"
Yu Nian asked Rong Yue to sit down, and said directly, "It's a chicken stone cup."
Rong Yue gasped, and it took him a while to recover, "Really... Really?"
Yu Nian placed the porcelain cup on the silk cloth, and said with certainty, "There is an 80% chance, I didn't miss it."
"What is 80%, your eyes are very sharp, and you can tell the true and false year of anything at a glance! Besides, you have been by your grandfather's side since you were a child, whether it was just unearthed or put on a museum exhibition, you Have you seen it or touched it? You said that the chance of authenticity is 80%, so it must be true!"
Looking at the clay-covered porcelain cup placed in front of Yu Nian, Rong Yue breathed lightly, "I've only heard of this thing, but I've never seen it before."
Yu Nian: "Yes, it was recorded in the "Life Notes" that 'Gaozong had a pair of colored rooster and stone-patterned cups in front of the Emperor Gaozong, worth 100,000 yuan'. This thing was originally an imperial wine cup. There is almost no stock left. When I saw it on the street, I was shocked."
"Niannian, you still have great eyes. If it were me, I would probably not be able to recognize them even if I took two glances." Rong Yue sighed again, "As long as you are skilled, you can make mistakes come true!"
Seeing that Rong Yue was looking carefully at the cup with the colorful chicken and stone pattern, Yu Nian pondered for a while and asked, "Uncle Rong, how much do you know about the Xiao family in Ningcheng?"
"The Xiao family?" Rong Yue pondered, "I don't know much about the Xiao family, but I have heard about it. The four big families in Ningcheng, your Qingshan Yu family has settled in Ningcheng for a long time, so you count as one family. The Sheng family of your in-laws counts as one family, and the rest The Liu family and the Xiao family have declined from generation to generation, and the Liu family has long since disappeared, and the ancestral house has almost become a scenic spot."
He thought about it carefully, "As for the Xiao family, I have heard people mention it. The Xiao family has a descendant named Ying Ke, who should be in his fifties or sixties. His health is very bad. I don't know if he is still alive."
Yu Nian pondered, "The store owner said that the consignor is an old lady with gray hair who claims her husband's surname is Xiao."
"Impossible." Rong Yue shook his head and concluded, "The wife of the previous generation of the Xiao family passed away in her thirties. The remaining Xiao Yingke has no wife at all!" He asked Yu Nian, "What do you think, this cup Did it come from the Xiao family?"
"Yes, even if the Xiao family is in decline and there are no descendants, there should still be one or two family possessions."
Rong Yue thought for a while, "I have someone I know, I can help you find out."
At this time, Yu Nian's cell phone rang. When he saw the name displayed on the screen, he smiled first, as if there were bright stars and fireflies in his eyes.
Hearing Yu Nian's gentle voice, Rong Yue took a few glances.
"I'm in a private restaurant, yes, the one with beautiful roses." Yu Nian relaxed, listening to Xie You's voice.
"The premiere is tonight?"
"Well, so I should stay up late tonight. After watching the premiere, there will be interviews with reporters. Don't wait for me, go to bed first."
It took a few breaths from Xie You's side before a soft voice came, "Niannian, I miss you very much."
Yu Nian's eyelashes trembled.
He knew that this phone call meant that Xie You was trying to trust him and the relationship between them.
The apex of the heart, as if soaked in warm water, Yu Nian couldn't help but deepen his smile, "I miss you very much too. When we get to the scene, I'm a supporting role and I don't have much to do. I can send messages to chat then."
After chatting for a few more words, Yu Nian hung up the phone and heard Rong Yue clear his throat narrowly. Yu Nian also learned to clear his throat, and picked up the previous topic, "Uncle Rong, after I confirm the authenticity of this fighting color chicken stone cup, I may put it up for auction."
Rong Yue wasn't very surprised, "Don't you keep it for yourself?"
Yu Nian shook his head, and said frankly, "I'm short of money. Besides, I don't have any obsession with this porcelain cup. I don't believe in Feng Shui, nor do I believe that the wine cups used by the emperor have dragon spirit."
Although Rong Yue supported it, his heart still ached and he beat his chest a few times, "My heart is broken into eight petals!"
After having dinner at a private restaurant, he went to the back kitchen to say goodbye to Shen Wei, and Yu Nian drove to the premiere. Entering the separate lounge, just sat down in front of the vanity mirror when there was a knock on the door.
Shi Rou opened the door and called out "Sister Qing" excitedly.
Yu Nian turned around, "Sister, so early?"
Yu Qing's makeup and hair were done, and she put on a thin coat over the long dress. Seeing Yu Nian, she sat down on the sofa next to her politely, "What's going on? It's been rumored everywhere that my younger brother is successful. You have been taken advantage of, not only have you been cheated miserably, but you are also happy like a fool."
Yu Nian blinked, "It's a good thing that I didn't get scammed."
Yu Qing didn't know much about antiques and cultural relics, but she believed in Yu Nian. When she heard this, she became a little excited, lowered her voice and asked, "Even you, the young master of the Yu family, said it was a good thing, how much is it worth?" ?”
Yu Nian compared two fingers.
Dazed for a second, Yu Qing raised her eyebrows, understood, and laughed loudly, "Some people say that you are stupid and want to fuck the persona of an antique connoisseur, and even if you buy a broken bowl with 25,000 yuan, you can also spend money on hot searches! Damn, get the fuck out of the character design!"
Meng Yuan was dealing with business, and he took the time to answer the conversation, "The trending search is really not bought by us, it is posted by fans every year."
Yu Qing was in a better mood, and answered, "That's right, we are also a trafficker every year!"
Meng Yuan pretended to sigh, "That's right, as traffic, how can you maintain your presence without popular searches?"
At midnight, after finishing the process, Yu Nian sat in the seat of watching the movie. Yu Qing was right next to him, and before the movie started, she whispered, "Wang Ningxue really didn't come. Director Xu didn't mention this. It was Wang Ningxue's manager who said that Wang Ningxue couldn't make the schedule and won't come."
Yu Nian was texting and chatting with Xie You, when he heard this, he nodded and said "hmm".
Yu Qing was quite happy not to continue this topic, "To be honest, I haven't seen the finished film yet, so I'm looking forward to it!"
Yu Nian, "Me too!"
Soon, the lights at the scene dimmed. On the big screen, there appeared endless Gobi barren mountains, yellow sand everywhere, and the sound of horseshoes and whistles from far to near. The female general played by Yu Qing, Ye Qing, is wearing armor, has sharp eyes, holds a long pole and a big knife, and rides on horseback with a heroic appearance.
She suddenly gestured to the sergeant behind her, and clamped the horse's belly tightly. At this moment, the enemy attack appeared, countless random arrows shot out from the ambush on both sides, and soon, dozens of enemies rushed out, and the target to kill was Ye Qing!
Ye Qing reined in his horse, his eyebrows were like a knife, he suddenly raised his hand, and threw the long knife fiercely, with a "shua" sound, the long knife pierced through the wind, and cut the enemy's throat, leaving deep red bloodstains on it. into the yellow sand.
The blood dripped into the yellow sand along the edge of the blade, the camera gave a close-up, the sound of the picture suddenly disappeared, and the words "ancient road" piercing through the back of the paper appeared on the screen.
Yu Nian played the role of the direct descendant of the Eastern Capital's Zanying family. He had been crowned the capital since he was a child, and was once praised by the present master himself. into the bosom.
When he learned that the treacherous ministers in the court had colluded with foreign races and planned to break through Jinghe Pass, he left Dongdu overnight, went to the frontier fortress, and reported to General Ye Qing.
Later, when it was critical, he folded the fan lightly, stepped on the tower, and personally led the army to defend the city against the enemy. He saved the people of his family and country, but never returned alive.
Not long after the midnight premiere, "Ancient Road" aroused great discussion heat. Among the top five rankings, "Ancient Road" directly accounted for four of them.
"—#古道画结歌# Listening to this song, I cried out of breath in the movie theater, and my makeup was all over! The movie really vomited blood! This song is really good! It’s not good, I’ll kill my head! Yu Nian, who wrote lyrics and music, and Yu Qing, who sang, are all immortals!"
"—#东都守玄宁# Woohoo, the screenwriter came out! Don’t let him die, please! It’s really becoming an obsession! Seeing Gu Xuanning’s body was shot with arrows, fell off the tower, and died in the yellow sandy frontier, tears It collapsed in an instant! Wuwuwu, the Gu family Xuanning of Zhilan Yushu!"
"—#东都吴玄宁# I originally entered the movie theater with the idea of how good singing and acting can be. The popularity is so high, and the marketing must be strong! I didn’t expect it to be so heart-wrenching! Really, Yu Nian took Gu Xuanning This character has come alive! Wait for me to do it again and again, and I'll take another look at Gu Jiaxuanning QAQ!"
By the fourth day of the release of "Ancient Road", the box office had exceeded 1.5 billion, which was already an extremely dazzling achievement as the theme of a costume drama. The ratings on each platform are very high, and the theme song of the movie with the same name is also airborne on the major charts, and the tag #东都守玄宁# also seems to have taken root, and it has been hanging in the top three positions, and the discussion is still there keep rising.
Faced with the heat, Meng Yuan was a little dazed, and joked, "Niannian, do we want to watch another movie?"
Yu Nian was very sober, "Brother Meng, actually I don't have any special talent in acting. It's just because the director is good, the crew is good, and the character 'Gu Xuanning' given in the script is very good, so it has caused such a big discussion. But If you change a crew to change a script character, you have to get a 50% discount."
Meng Yuan looked at the GIF of Gu Xuanning's character who had slaughtered the homepage of Weibo, and he was very reluctant, but he knew that Yu Nian had the right idea, so he nodded, "Listen to you." Looking at the time, he said again, " The time is almost up, it's time to go to the Golden Melody Awards."
"Okay," Yu Nian got up, and at the same time, the phone rang and Yu Nian connected, "Uncle Rong?"
"Please check the Xiao family's affairs, I almost figured it out."
