338. A hypocritical gentleman is a scoundrel
Life is always full of surprises, Chen Li'an didn't expect to meet Jason Statham when he came out to relax, and he didn't expect to become an investor in Guy Ritchie.
However, it is also good to be able to satirize the British Museum through Guy Ritchie's film, and when the two smoking guns were released, they were the third grossing in British film history.
It's cool to satirize the British Museum in such a high-grossing film, and Chen Li'an is happy to invest 800,000 pounds in Guy Ritchie.
It's just that investment is not just a matter of words, but also a contract that is on the right track.
Chen Li'an looked at Guy Ritchie and Jason Statham, who were a little excited, and said, "It's too late today, and a lawyer will come to sign a contract with you tomorrow." ”
"No problem! What time is tomorrow? Guy Ritchie asked directly, for fear that Chen Li'an would regret it in the next second.
Chen Li'an looked at Guy Ritchie's anxious appearance and said, "At eight o'clock tomorrow morning, you give me your contact information." ”
Guy Ritchie immediately took out a business card from his pocket and handed it to Chen Li'an, as a professional MV director, business cards naturally exist.
Chen Li'an took it and put it in his pocket, and also gave Guy Ritchie a business card of his own, looking at Jason Statham who was standing aside, Chen Li'an also handed over his business card.
Jason Statham didn't have a business card, so he was a little embarrassed to find a piece of paper and write down his contact information and hand it to Chen Li'an.
Jason Statham is very bad now, he hasn't officially debuted yet, and he usually works as a model to do odd jobs, and his life is very tight.
became the star of the two big smoking guns because Guy Ritchie bumped into him setting up a stall when he was wandering around, and he was asked to star in the script because he thought it was quite suitable for his script.
But the main reason was that Guy Ritchie didn't have the money to hire big-name celebrities at that time, otherwise who would use a second-class dealer who set up a roadside stall.
It's also quite interesting to say, Jason Statham also played a second-class dealer in the movie, but he starred in his true colors.
Three men in the cramped apartment were drinking beer and chatting, and Jason Statham suddenly smiled and said, "I decided to set up a stall every week in the future, this is my transfer ceremony." ”
Chen Li'an and Guy Ritchie both laughed, setting up a stall is indeed related to him, once he met Guy Ritchie and became a movie actor, and once he met Chen Li'an to bring investment to the movie.
Chen Li'an originally thought that Jason Statham was a tough guy who spoke little, but now that he is familiar with it, he finds that he is quite dense, with the same dry humor as Guy Ritchie.
However, many British people have this kind of dry humor, and they are used to self-deprecating cold humor to show their generosity and tolerance.
British humor.
Chen Li'an and Guy Ritchie listened to rock and roll chatting about London's street culture, and before they knew it, it was dark outside, and just as the three of them were about to find a bar to have a good time, Chen Li'an's phone rang.
Seeing that the caller ID was Ji Fa, Chen Li'an felt that he would not have a chance to meet the graceful dancing of the gypsy girl with Guy Ritchie and them tonight.
After connecting the phone, after listening to Ji Fa finish talking about things, Chen Li'an sighed helplessly and hung up the phone.
Goodbye, pretty gypsy girl, I'll go and stuff you with money next time.
"I'm sorry, I have urgent matters to deal with at the moment, so I can't go with you tonight."
Jason Statham patted Chen Li'an on the shoulder regretfully and said, "Then go again next time, you should really see the striptease of the gypsy girl." ”
Chen Li'an also felt a pity, just now Guy Ritchie and Jason Statham portrayed too well, tonight there will be the hottest hip dancing queen in the UK performance.
But you can watch the dancing at any time, Ji Fa said that a collector invited him to a dinner party, and it was not good to refuse, so he still had to give Ji Fa a face.
After Chen Li'an and Guy Ritchie said goodbye, they went downstairs, and Ji Fa's car just arrived downstairs at the door of the apartment.
Ji Fa rolled down the window and glanced at Chen Li'an and them, and said hello to Jason Statham and Guy Ritchie.
After Chen Li'an got in the car, Ji Fa asked curiously, "This is a new friend you know?" I thought you would only be friends with beautiful women. ”
"You should have seen them, met them at the bar that night." Chen Li'an ignored Ji Fa's ridicule and said: "One of them is a director and the other is an actor, I just decided to invest in a movie from them, and you can help me arrange for a lawyer to come to them tomorrow to sign a contract." ”
"Investing in movies?" Ji Fa was surprised that Chen Li'an would invest in a movie for someone he just met, and couldn't help but remind: "Be careful that they are liars." ”
Chen Li'an said with a smile: "No, they have already finished filming the movie, but they don't have the money to do the post-production." ”
"Okay, whatever you want." Ji Fa drove the car and asked casually, "How much money did you invest?" ”
"£800,000, but I think I can get £5 million back." Chen Li'an said mysteriously.
Ji Fa turned his head and glanced at him, thinking that Chen Li'an must have been deceived, but if it was only 700,000 pounds, she was not prepared to stop it, it was good to let him suffer a loss, it was too easy to believe people.
Ji Fa has always felt that Chen Li'an's special idealism is easy to believe in others, although he himself refuses to admit it, and he does not say that he has eighty hearts.
Let him be deceived once this time, it is much better than being deceived by a woman in the future, women will not only cheat money but also cheat feelings and deceive bodies.
Soon Ji Fa drove to the hotel, and took Chen Li'an to change into a high-end suit before setting off for tonight's real destination.
In a manor in the suburbs of London, Chen Li'an felt eerie when he looked at the castle, far less beautiful than the garden manors in China.
Ji Fa in the car said to Chen Li'an: "This is a baron's manor, and he is also a collector, but tonight it is his son who invited you, he is very interested in your works, and he has seen the exhibition in Paris before." ”
"So what the hell is he looking for me?" Chen Li'an said strangely: "You don't just want to know me, right?" ”
"Or else?" Ji Fa shrugged and pushed the car door to get out of the car, and Chen Li'an hurriedly followed.
It may be that in the afternoon with Guy Ritchie they experienced the street culture of London, Chen Li'an is still quite unaccustomed to the aristocratic dinner in the evening, and the etiquette is cumbersome and boring.
Baron Buster is in his seventies this year, but he seems to be very energetic, and his speech is very interesting and relaxed, but he can't let go of the posture of the nobleman.
His son was better, Chen Li'an chatted with him quite happily, and after dinner, Chen Li'an chatted with him alone in the cigar room, and he also said his purpose for looking for Chen Li'an.
"When I was younger, I collected a vase from your country, it was very beautiful, but it had some flaws, it was really a pity, the last time I saw in Paris there was a vase in your art exhibition that was exactly the same as it, so I wanted to collect it."
Exactly the same bottle? Chen Li'an was a little surprised, but it was not strange to think that Master Wang made bottles according to the style that had been handed down for a long time.
So he flicked his cigar and said, "I'm sorry, but I don't have any idea of selling it for the time being." ”
"I know, that's why I'm looking for you alone." Buster smiled and said, "That vase is very important to me, I hope to sell it to me when your art show is over, I can give 100,000 pounds." ”
Chen Li'an paused as he smoked his cigar, feeling that there was something wrong with this old man, the bottle was very beautiful, but it was definitely not worth 100,000 pounds, and the new thing was not an old object, so where could it be worth the price.
But the specific reason is really hard to say, Chen Li'an looked at him and was silent for a while before saying: "That bottle doesn't belong to me, I need to ask for the opinion of its owner." ”
Buster smiled and said, "No problem, in fact, I would love to meet the master of making bottles, I am obsessed with Chinese porcelain, and I hope to invite you to dinner next time." ”
After Chen Li'an left the manor in the evening, he immediately talked to Ji Fa about this matter, and he felt that this matter was very strange.
After Ji Fa heard what Chen Li'an said, he immediately understood, and said with a smile: "He probably wants to find an imitation and sell it at a high price, someone must have taken a fancy to his antique bottle, but his purpose is definitely not the bottle, but the person who made the bottle, how can there be an exact same bottle." ”
The corners of Chen Li'an's mouth tugged and said: "He doesn't want to mass produce and then fool people, there are not many people in Europe who are willing to collect porcelain."
Chen Li'an suddenly understood halfway through his speech, it wouldn't be an Asian collector who took a fancy to his bottle.
If that's the case, then Chen Li'an won't help him, he can't pit his own people.
During this time period, collectors in Southeast Asia and Japan must have no money, and it is likely that Chinese collectors have taken a fancy to them.
This little old man is really dirty, and the bottle in his hand is probably also snatched before.
Chen Li'an felt disgusted, as if he had seen Chinese antiquities stolen from the British Museum's auction.
What kind of bullshit aristocratic gentleman, hypocritical gentleman is not as good as a gangster on the street.
Chen Li'an turned his head to look at Ji Fa and asked, "Can you inquire about the specific situation?" ”
"Yes, but I don't recommend you get involved."
"You can help me ask first."
Chen Li'an's beautiful night scene of London outside the car window, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart, I don't know how much of this prosperous night scene is paid for by compensation.
When the car arrived downstairs at the hotel, Chen Li'an suddenly said: "You can help me arrange a few interviews, not the British media." ”
"What do you want to do?" Ji Fa asked with some vigilance.
Chen Li'an raised his eyebrows and said, "I want to scold." ”
Ji Fa: "." Then you just think about it.
Ji Fa didn't arrange an interview for Chen Li'an, but when the art exhibition was launched, there was still a problem.
The British Museum seems to have done it on purpose, and when Chen Li'an started it, he also made an exhibition of Chinese cultural relics, and took out a lot of Chinese cultural relics in the museum for display.
The relics that used to eat ashes in the safe finally have a chance to show up.
For this reason, there are many people who come to visit, although it also drives the popularity of Chen Li'an's art exhibition, but it is really disgusting.
Chen Li'an was also visiting those cultural relics, and the taste in his heart was really uncomfortable, he didn't dare to let Master Wang and them come over to see it, for fear that these old men and old ladies would not be able to stand this stimulation.
"The exhibits in the British Museum are much stronger than those over there, and the ancient mystery is very beautiful."
"Of course, the British Museum has tens of thousands of pieces from China, and their Palace Museum doesn't have as many as ours."
In the British Museum, Chen Li'an was also stimulated when he heard these words, and turned his head to look at the place where the voice came from.
Chen Li'an walked over and looked at them and said, "How did these cultural relics come from?" They were supposed to be in our National Palace Museum, why are they here? ”
The tourists who were chatting happily turned their heads to look at the abrupt voices behind them, and when they turned around, Chen Li'an saw clearly that these people seemed to be reporters.
When these reporters saw that the person who spoke was Chen Li'an, they were also immediately interested, and immediately asked: "Hello, don't you think these cultural relics are better than your works?" ”
"There is no doubt about this, they are all treasures of Chinese culture, they have been influenced by history, and each cultural relic has its own story." After Chen Li'an answered this question, he looked at the reporter who asked the question and asked, "Then can you please tell me why these cultural relics appear here?" ”
The reporter was choked by Chen Li'an's words, and said curtly: "This should be asked to the museum staff, I think it should all be donated by someone." ”
Chen Li'an sneered, looked at the reporters and said, "Donation? Haven't studied history? Even if you haven't studied history, can't you even tell the difference between plunder and donation? ”
The reporter didn't care about Chen Li'an's attitude, but asked with a bright eye: "Do you question that the cultural relics in the British Museum are all looted?" ”
"It's not a question, it's a fact." After Chen Li'an finished speaking, he turned his head and left, not caring whether the reporters would report what he said.
It wasn't surprising to those reporters that no one pointed to the British Museum, and every year many countries ask the British Museum for their own cultural relics.
It's just that Chen Li'an is still in the British Museum, isn't it good that you just slap people in the face like this? Aren't you worried that your exhibition won't last?
Chen Li'an would actually like to be stopped halfway through, which would be even more interesting, and then he would stand up and pretend to be pitiful and then call on those countries that plundered cultural relics to speak out.
Even if you don't come back, you have to tear off the veil of hypocrisy at the British Museum.
Shameless thing!
This is one of the reasons why Chen Li'an chose to hold an exhibition at the British Museum, and why he deliberately expressed his position in front of reporters.
I hope that these reporters can make their remarks out sooner, and hope that they can play a role in condemnation while they are still a little famous and popular.
Everyone in the world knows it, even many British people will ridicule themselves for laughing at the British Museum as a robber, Chen Li'an still remembers that the British Museum was "stolen" later, and British netizens laughed at themselves and said that robbers meet thieves, and they must make every effort to recover the "stolen goods"!
In fact, most of the time, ordinary people are cute and have their own views of right and wrong.
It's just that these voices are too weak, and Chen Li'an wants to make a big noise now, so that these voices can converge.
I'm embarrassed to say that I am the "museum of the world" every day when I look at the British Museum, and the world is robbed! How embarrassed to babble everywhere.
