The person who made the bid was Sophie Marceau.

She raised her slender hand, quoted the price of $400,000, and then fell.

Franck Müller was so pleased that one of them was so pleased that he immediately exclaimed, "Someone has made a bid, and this lady has paid $400,000! Are there any other gentlemen or ladies who will follow?

The auctioneer shouted from above.

Luc Besson looked at his female companion in surprise and whispered, "Hey, Sophie, I didn't expect you to be so rich...... $400,000...... Many directors in China make a small-scale film, and the investment is almost that much......"

"It's beautiful! I want to get it! It's that simple!" said Sophie Marceau simply.

"Well, well, as the old saying goes, women have no resistance to shiny jewelry...... Luc Besson said with a smile.

Two friends are talking.

The auction didn't end there.

"$500,000!"

There was someone else who offered a higher price and was a chubby middle-aged woman. She was covered in jewels, but she was wearing a fur in New York in April, and she looked a bit of a tyrant.

"$550,000!"

Others have raised the price.

Soon the price was raised to 600,000 gold, which has far exceeded the value of this sapphire necklace itself.

But it is cherished because it was once worn by Queen Mary, who is very famous in the history of Europe and the United States. Although it may not be a good reputation, the sapphire necklace worn by Queen Mary, who is famous and luxurious, will definitely not be a mediocre product.

Sophie Marceau gritted her teeth.

She is a Frenchman, and she is a French woman. For the necklace that Queen Mary had worn, of course, she would love to have it. This is like a first- and second-tier female star in China, if she has the opportunity to get jewelry used by ancient beauties such as Yang Guifei or Zhao Feiyan and Diao Chan, she will definitely be willing to spend a lot of money.

Of course......

Due to the long history, it is estimated that if there are really these used jewelry, the price is also sky-high. It is the first- and second-tier female stars who can afford it, unless their financial father is willing to buy it for them.

Queen Mary is relatively close to modern times, and because of the descent theory in European and American society, the inheritance of blood and inheritance is well maintained, and her descendants can easily get a part of her inheritance.

And when Queen Mary was alive, she lived in luxury, and her favorite thing was all kinds of jewelry and enjoyment. The amount of jewelry she has used is so great that it is estimated that few women in history can match it.

Because the base is relatively large.

The chance of being handed down is naturally greater, the credibility will not be so doubtful, and the jewelry and jewelry she has used are more convincing.

"$700,000!"

Gritting her teeth, Sophie Marceau quoted a price that she herself was a little distressed about.

This price may be for many Hollywood female stars, the more popular first and second tier kinds, they can often take out this money without distress, because they have such an income.

For example, like Abel's girlfriend Julia Roberts, someone is now offering a salary of $10 million to invite her to star in the movie, and the offer is getting higher and higher.

Even if it's 10 million, it's okay to deduct taxes and other miscellaneous expenses. Julia Roberts can get at least $6 million, and although it is not easy to buy a $700,000 necklace, it will not hurt to the point of flesh.

But Sophie Marceau's income ......

Let's put it this way.

She participated in a movie "Encounter Happiness" in 2012, and as the heroine, her salary was only a pitiful 1.2 million euros......

Although this film is only a low-budget romance film, it was 1.2 million euros in 2012, which is roughly equivalent to the current ...... according to inflation It's about $700,000.

At that time, Sophie Marceau was in her 40s, but her appearance had not collapsed, and coupled with her previous fame, it was said that the salary would not be low...... But her salary is really so low.

Thirty years after the debut and the future.

She has always been red and purple in France, and she is not as good as Monica Bellucci in Hollywood, but she is also the second most popular European actress before 200. Internationally, she is deeply loved by netizens and fans in ancient Oriental countries.

belongs to the kind that relies on his own appearance and is very famous. But the combat power to create the box office is only about 5 scum, if history has not changed, she is most famous in commercial films only to participate in a 007 and "Braveheart".

Coupled with the fact that she has not officially entered Hollywood yet, Hollywood's actor income has always been the highest in the world. Although she is not popular in France, her salary has always been the highest among French actresses.

But it's a pity that the salary of a first-class French actress is probably equivalent to the income of a third- or fourth-tier female star in Hollywood during this period.

Take out $700,000 at once.

It's already almost 2/3 of her savings, and she will struggle with more money.

"Sophie...... Do you really like it that much?" asked Luc Besson in an incredulous whisper, thinking that it was not worth spending so much money on a piece of jewelry!

"I like it!"

He was answered by a few simple words of the French rose.

But this is New York, and tonight's reception is in the heart of New York's Manhattan district, with a bunch of Wall Street or people with ties to Wall Street.

The last thing these people are bad for is money.

Her offer of $700,000 was thrown behind all of a sudden.

"$800,000!"

"I'll pay 1 million! 1 million!"

"1.15 million!"

"1.25 million!"

“……”

The price is gradually increasing.

Sophie Marceau lowered her hand.

The price is already more than she can afford. A character like hers is willing to spend all her savings just to buy a necklace she loves. But if she can't buy it even if she spends all her savings, she won't deliberately force it.

Look at her a little unhappy.

Luc Besson couldn't help but explain: "Hey...... Sophie...... I mean, if you need to. How about I lend you some money, $500,000?"

"Yes!" Sophie Marceau nodded affirmatively, and she said softly, "But it may take me a long time to pay you back......"

"Hey, that's okay! if I need it, I'll pay you for my films!" said Luc Besson with a smile, "and isn't there Mr. Zuraski, who knows that if you like this necklace, he will pay for it and give it to you!"

"Don't mention him!" said Sophie Marceau, displeased, "he's going bankrupt! Part of my money is helping him, otherwise I wouldn't be able to afford what I like!"

Luc Besson shrugged and was about to say something.

At this time.

The chubby lady who made the second offer quoted a price that Sophie Marceau desperately for: "$1.6 million! I'll pay $2 million!"

The price of $1.6 million, even if Sophie Marceau took out her whole body savings and borrowed $500,000 from Luc Besson, the total would still not exceed $1.6 million.

She can't afford it.

Looking at the chubby lady's expression after the quotation, and the subsequent quotation of other people who wanted to continue to keep up.

Sophie Marceau was suddenly a little lost.

She felt like a bit of a failure.

I became famous since I was 15 years old, and it has been 10 years now. She is already the number 1 female star who is already a household name in France and is famous throughout Europe. But in the United States, I can't even afford to buy a thing I love.

In the depths of her heart, the idea of what she has done in the past 10 years suddenly rose.

"$1,600,000 for the first time!"

"$1,600,000 for the second time!"

"If not, our first lot of the night will belong to this beautiful lady!"

“……”

Frank Müller shouted on the stage, wondering if he would feel empty when he said that fat lady was beautiful.

Just when Sophie Marceau was a little gloomy, a crisp man's voice rang out.

"I'll pay $2 million!"
