Seeing that there was a large roll of old paper in the old newspaper, Lin Yi, who was already familiar with Taoshu, immediately felt that something was wrong, not to mention that with the appearance of the old paper, a wisp of book fragrance actually came to his nose, which was even more incredible.

You must know that Lin Yi's nose is very sensitive, and he can often smell the scent of books and drawings that are rich in collectible value.

Therefore, Lin Yi can conclude that this old roll of paper must not be simple.

With such a conclusion, Lin Yi was silent, his expression was calm, and he suppressed the ecstasy in his heart, because he knew that as long as he showed a little excitement, he would be noticed by the eldest sister who sold books, and these book sellers were also human spirits, and they would know what was going on at a glance, and in the end, you would probably return empty-handed, or you would stretch your neck and be slaughtered.

So, the first reaction when you see something good is to be quiet.

Lin Yi stretched out his finger and gently opened the old paper, and when he saw it, it was actually some old movie posters from decades ago, as well as some old posters.

At first glance, the excitement in my heart was even greater.

You must know that Lin Yi is now an expert in playing books, and he also has a certain amount of research on movie posters and posters, and he is no longer the kind of novice he used to be, so he knows very well that these posters have a high collection value.

In other words, after the filming of a film, the film company often has to look for art masters to draw movie posters, in order to achieve a better publicity purpose. At that time, these posters were distributed for free, and they were torn off after posting, some of them were taken home to paste the walls, and some of them were directly torn up and squatted in the toilet, and everyone did not think it was a pity, but now it is too difficult to find these posters, and many collectors have not necessarily gained much from their efforts, only the Film Archive still has some.

In fact, the collection of movie posters first began in the United States in the 60s of the 20th century, and under the influence of this, the collection of movie posters has also appeared all over the world, and by the 80s and 90s, it has become a fashion, and many movie poster collectors have emerged. For example, there is a famous movie poster collector in the United Kingdom, Bruce Machent, who not only established the film poster art museum, but also engaged in the auction of movie posters.

In the West, a very ordinary movie poster from the 20s is worth at least hundreds of dollars, and the more precious movie posters can reach thousands or even tens of thousands of dollars. For example, a poster for "Citizen Kane" was worth only $5 in 1965 and is now worth as much as $8,000, and "Gone with the Wind" and "Spy in North Africa" are quoted for $10,000. From the perspective of market performance, the earlier and more influential the movie poster, the more precious and sought-after the market.

For example, the 1968 poster for the French film "Sympathy for the Devil" depicting the pop East team sold for $4,025, Chaplin's "City Lights" poster, and "Laulai and Hardy" poster are no longer available. In 1996, Christie's in New York launched more than 500 movie posters at one time, with the lowest price of each film being hundreds of dollars and the highest being tens of thousands of dollars; In 1997, at the Hollywood movie poster auction held at Sotheby's in New York, a poster of the 1932 American movie "The Mummy" was sold for $452,000, setting a sky-high price for the movie poster auction. In the same year, Christie's in New York also held an auction of movie posters, including a 1933 film poster estimated at $9,000 to $12,000 and a poster promoting the 1933 film Orangutan King Kong for $79,500.

There is information that the number of original movie posters released before 1980 in the United States has increased by 50 times: posters that could be bought for a few pounds in the 70s of the 20th century in Britain are now worth hundreds of pounds.

Movie posters are also of interest to counterfeiters because of their considerable market presence in the market, which often reproduces high-value posters, and it is often difficult for people to identify fakes. To this end, in 1997 the International Association of Obsolete Poster Dealers was also established internationally, one of the objectives of which is to deal with the problem of counterfeiting of posters.

In recent years, it has become fashionable for Western countries to speculate on movie posters, and not long ago, Hollywood in the United States posted posters all over the United States in order to strengthen the publicity of "Pearl Harbor," which triggered a craze for stealing "Pearl Harbor" posters. It can be seen that the enthusiasm for collecting posters in Western countries is unprecedented.

In contrast, the collection of Chinese movie posters started late, but the development is relatively rapid, especially after the founding of the People's Republic of China, many famous domestic painters participated in the design of movie posters, such as Cheng Shifa's "Lin Zexu", "Dead Wood in Spring", "Jade Butterfly", Guan Liang's "Zhou Xinfang's Stage Art", Huang Zhou's "Anal Khan", etc., these posters are exquisite art treasures in terms of artistic conception and painting skills, and the price is not cheap. For example, the price of movie posters such as woodcut versions of "Red Women's Army", "Chicken Feather Letter", and "Chinese Children" has risen to seven or eight thousand, or even tens of thousands of yuan.

In the 80s, and even in the 90s, the posters have been as high as 100 yuan, such as "Shaolin Temple" 220 yuan, "North and South Shaolin" 180 yuan, and "Shaolin Boy Gong" 100 yuan, "Yellow River Hero" 90 yuan, "Baling Thieves" 60 yuan, etc., these once popular movies, their posters have become the best in the posters.

In the past 2,000 years, there will occasionally be some special ones, which will become sought-after goods, and the poster of "In the Mood for Love" directed by Wong Kar-wai and starring Tony Leung and Maggie Cheung is very typical. In the film, Tony Leung won the best actor in the 2000 "53rd Cannes Film Festival". In order to cooperate with the release of the film in different regions, Wong Kar-wai designed three versions of the poster for the film: the Hong Kong version, the French version and the foreign version, and the result was that the three versions were all fried to more than 3,300 yuan, and the mainland version also reached 80-400 yuan.

Therefore, although some posters are in recent years, as long as the film has an impact, the poster design is good, and the speculators are interested, they still hype the poster to a sky-high price, which is amazing.

It is precisely because Lin Yi knows some knowledge of collecting movie posters, so he immediately decided that these movie posters hidden in newspapers definitely have a high collection value, and when he looked at them, he became more and more cautious and cautious.

Looking at the eldest sister who was setting up a bookstall again, when she saw that there was such a volume in the newspaper, she said, "Hey, I didn't pay attention when I brought it, who made it." "It looks curious too.

Lin Yike didn't care about this, so he pretended to be casual and said, "Maybe it's with these newspapers, well, how much do these things cost?" I didn't dare to look closely at what those movie posters were, so I rolled up those movie posters with the newspaper again, held them in my hand and asked.

This is the skill, when you buy something in the bookstall and find that there is a treasure in the book, you must buy it together, don't just buy the things sandwiched inside, only pick the good ones to buy, so that it will seem that you are too fine, too ungenerous, those stall owners do not like people who are smarter than him, and they don't like people who are stingier than him, only those who like to buy books like to shoot, stacks of crazy buyers who are not much bargaining, are their hearts, is their most welcome object.

Sure enough, when the eldest sister saw that Lin Yi even wanted such a bad old newspaper, her heart was happy, so she said: "You can give 30 yuan for these newspapers, as for those posters......"

Lin Yi "chuckled" in his heart, and said in his heart, could it be that this eldest sister is also a master? So I waited for the eldest sister lion to open her mouth, and even hundreds or thousands of bids, so that she could cut it slowly.

Looking at the eldest sister's triangular eyes again, she spitted and offered a ruthless price, "Each one costs at least 10 yuan, if you can't take it, forget it - I don't know if it's my mouth stuffed into it, and I'll ask him when I go back." "The nose is facing the sky, that means very simple, there is no need to talk about it.

As soon as Lin Yi heard this, the heart he was holding finally "banged" to the ground. On the surface, he couldn't pretend to be too happy, nor could he be too straightforward, lest the other party see that something was wrong and change his hexagram temporarily, so he made a bitter face and said if he could have less.

The eldest sister is very resolute and can't.

Lin Yi was just like a defeated rooster, and honestly counted the number of posters, a total of 22, 30 yuan with bad newspapers, a total of 250 yuan; Then, under the supervision of the eldest sister's sharp triangular eyes, she hesitantly took out the money in her pocket, but fortunately brought more than 300, so she reluctantly stuffed the eldest sister with 250 yuan.

Finally holding these movie posters in his hand, Lin Yi's heart suddenly felt relaxed, and after saying goodbye to his eldest sister, he walked towards his Land Rover.

Later, the eldest sister was happy in her heart, laughing at Lin Yi is really a "two hundred and five", these posters or something, she used to see her husband sell them, and one was only 2 yuan, and today she sold it for 10 yuan at once, which is not a lot of money. She didn't know that these posters and posters were her husband's private treasures, and she dumped them all today...... (To be continued.) )
