Take a closer look, I personally think it's not a scam full of loopholes. It's a well-planned scam, every step of the way.

The positioning of the auctioneer is an elderly man. There are very strict requirements for the occupation, and it is also very professional. But there is no professional ethics, cautious (because he will not accept his birthday in a few hours) and greedy (the whole house is a portrait of women taken at low prices, one is the quantity, the other is the price (a painting worth 8 million 80,000. He only collects portraits of girls, which actually shows that the auctioneer is a man who desperately longs for women, but he has lost the ability to love his lover and is a bit withdrawn in his heart (when he goes to dinner alone, he only has one time in his own life) A person who has entertained clients in the house, admired paintings alone, would rather hide under the eaves than in a cafe on a rainy day, etc.).

So Billy (the old man who helped the auctioneer's works at a low price) made a set of scams for the auctioneer's positioning. Of course, Robert, Robert's girlfriend, Claire, Claire's servant also participated in the scam. .

1. Greedy, Billy deliberately put out the disassembled gears of the Android robot to seduce the auctioneer. Because auctioneers are bound to take the bait out of greed. But Billy's main purpose is to keep the auctioneer in constant communication with Robert, who knows the Android robot being assembled. So there is a continuous emergence of Android Android accessories. Why does it need to continue? Because the auctioneer has lost the ability to fall in love with a person, if there is no one to help, Claire will be with the auctioneer, and the auctioneer will doubt Claire. It's just what the girl said, you didn't do anything, why should I be nice to you. And because Robert is often in a scene with different girls, the auctioneer believes that Robert's method is effective (for example, there is a line: I have a good teacher).

2. Mystery. In fact, most of the people who like to collect antiques like some of the mystery in the works. So Claire was set up as someone with agoraphobia to get the auctioneer's interest. In the eyes of the auctioneer, a lot of what happened to Claire is impossible (male protagonist's line: You want me to believe that in the past 12 years, you have never been out on the street?), in addition to the mystery created by the female protagonist, also There is the housekeeper of the heroine who also embellished the mystery of the heroine by the side (servant line: never seen (referring to the heroine))

3. common ground. I believe that everyone will have more trust in people who have the same values, or the same hobbies, or the same quirks as themselves. When the auctioneer and Claire had the first conversation at the door of the girl's room (not a phone call), the girl said that the male protagonist likes to wear gloves and the female protagonist has agoraphobia (the female protagonist's line is: In my opinion, both personal choices are similar). Another example is the big house where the auctioneer's family has few guests and the house where Claire lives alone, which are essentially the same, both living alone in the big house. In fact, Claire's character is set according to the character of the auctioneer, but it magnifies the eccentric character of the auctioneer.

4. There is a process to deceive people. The first is to establish initial trust (the initial trust may be occasional contact at work, and will not talk about private topics or discuss private topics with hidden self (that is, people who communicate with friends from nothing) ), with the deepening of this initial trust, the liar will break this trust (the trust between people cannot be broken once, and you will not trust it until you are disappointed many times) and become distrustful. But the liar will gain trust again, and if the trust is gained again, the trust is deep trust. For example: Billy spent 280,000 yuan to buy back the painting and gave it to the auctioneer after he failed to get 80,000 yuan due to an auction mistake (breaking trust). This time the trust is deep trust. Another example is Robert's girlfriend telling the auctioneer Robert to talk to her about Claire all day long, which is to break the trust between the auctioneer and Robert, and then re-establish it after Robert returned the auctioneer's cheque. And the female lead's repeated untrustworthiness (of course there are parts that increase the sense of mystery) and repeated gains of trust. After entering this kind of tempering auctioneer, they have no guard against them.

5. To create panic, Claire's disappearance is to create this panic, and it is when the auctioneer has developed feelings for Claire. Do this: 1. Shift the target, the auctioneer's focus will be on whether I will lose Claire, not whether I will be cheated. 2. Make the auctioneer lose his mind, as can be seen from the performance of the auctioneer when Claire disappeared that day at the auction. The fact that an auctioneer of many years will make such a low-level mistake shows that the auctioneer's mind is disordered at this time.

6. Mastery of the actions of the deceived. To deceive a person, you have to know the general behavior of the other person. Billy's grasp of the auctioneer's actions is known from the locator found in the trunk of the last auctioneer's car. You can choose to arrange thugs to attack the auctioneer on a rainy day, and arrange for the heroine to rescue the auctioneer in the rain, so that his feelings will eventually sublimate (the truth in adversity), and he trusts the heroine very much. The reason for choosing a rainy day must be one: there are few passers-by, the rescue will not be too timely, and no one will save her on the road. Two: Adversity shows true love. The worse the weather, the more you are helped, and the deeper your affection for him will be. .

So the auctioneer unknowingly walked into the scam set up by Billy and the others after receiving the call from Claire.

Why is it called the best bid? First of all, we have to know what the object of the bid is, and the film also gives the answer, which is love (as the lines say: Assuming love is a work of art, the person who bids the highest can have the greatest love in the world). So what is the best price? Auctions are always the highest price for the best price. But I don't think the highest price an auctioneer can pay is not for lost portraits of women, but for love. Just as most of us would want me to love you in exchange for your love for me, and mine to buy yours. In the end, the auctioneer refused to accept the reality of being deceived by love, which also stemmed from not letting go of the love that had lost that obsession.

Remarks: 1. As the saying goes, for a thousand readers, there are a thousand Hamlets. My analysis merely provides my perspective. If you disagree or have a deeper interpretation, you can write it down and communicate it yourself. 2. A work can be analyzed very deeply, here I just briefly express my point of view (for example: the female dwarf in the window of the coffee shop can also analyze her meaning in this whole work. For example: the dwarf has always been In the shop, she is very clear about the house opposite the coffee shop, and sees everything very clearly, why the auctioneer asked her at the end. It is not like a friend or relative who sees things better than you, when you are deeply in love In the scam, you will not consult them or communicate with them) 3. I have nothing to do recently, I want to write a movie review to earn some pocket money, if you have any resources you know or if anyone needs it, you can contact me, and I can cooperate for a long time.
