"Dovetail dowry box in pine with cast hinges in the form of tulip buds. French walnut base cabinet of the sixteenth century, Hermès swirl decoration in Griffin style, delicate shape, but unfortunately it is ten Something from the ninth century. A pair of oak tables, Flemish style, with two hidden drawers, decorated legs, feet with clawed balls..."

This is the dialogue at the beginning of the film "Best Bid", the color by From the dark to the light, what catches the eye is no longer the colorful, but the frozen history and the romantic atmosphere of the director Giuseppe Tonadore. How romantic is this great director who was born in Sicily, Italy, I believe you have seen "Paradise Cinema", "The Beautiful Legend of Sicily" and "The Pianist at Sea". Later, when he was over seventy years old, he filmed "The Astronomy of Love". Jeremy Irons has a look and tenderness. I believe that Tonadore knows the most affectionate feelings.

And in this film, it also tells a sigh of love.

Mr. Oldman is a connoisseur auctioneer of the world's top art auction house. In a dusty mansion, he can smell centuries-old antiques from under the mold-covered wooden boards and pass small 's iris signature immediately distinguishes authenticity, and there should be applause here.
He has a neat skeleton, a discerning eye, a suit and leather shoes, walks with style, meticulous, short-tempered, wears a pair of carefully selected gloves when he eats, goes to the toilet, auctions, and answers the phone, and orders meals according to the Renaissance recipe for decades. He has never missed a beat in his career, and his sophisticated lifestyle has allowed him to live elsewhere and become a clear stream in the celebrity world.

Of course, there are quirks in such a character. The back room of the mansion is full of portraits of women by major painters of various periods. In order to steal and snatch, Oldman has his right-hand man and his right-hand man. Billy, the old man, acted as a gunman in the auction process and helped him buy paintings at a bid price. Another handsome repairman helped him to verify the authenticity of technology.

Oh, and he's still an old virgin.

Until one day, a stone fell into the calm water, causing thousands of waves.

Mysterious female customer Claire breaks into Oldman's life with a huge inheritance and asks him to auction the antiques. This woman lives in an old house. She has not left the door for more than ten years. Her parents have passed away, and her inheritance is innumerable, but there is only one old doorman who manages the house.

In the process of negotiating with Oldman, Claire always used various reasons to prevaricate the meeting, which made the always arrogant Oldman very dissatisfied, and threw the phone several times to stir up emotions. Claire burst into tears, obsessed to the end, and insisted on auctioning. This is the first place to whet your appetite.

When Oldman walked into Claire's mansion and saw countless paintings, sculptures, furniture, utensils, and decorations, it was hard to resist the temptation. And in the basement, I found a small gear and took it back, and asked the repairman to check the age. However, the repairer said that it was too old to be verified, which made Oldman's ardent desire for the ancient house and Claire even more. This is the second place to whet your appetite.

Here we must strongly insert the handsome repairman, Jim Sturgess, his most famous masterpiece is "One Day", this seemingly technical house is actually a master of seduction. Under his tutelage, the relationship between Oldman and Claire began to become delicate. By assembling the gears, the mechanic has assembled a robot that he calls a priceless treasure, and Oldman believes it is true and begins to approach Claire step by step.
Alderman is a lion who has been sleeping for a long time, thinking that he is looking for elk in the vast forest, but he is actually being watched by hunters.

He began to wander involuntarily to the dilapidated mansion, and checked the antique information of the auction with Claire, who was only a wall away, and started psychological warfare. After hearing what happened to the girl, she felt pity and pretended to leave, but hid behind the sculpture, secretly observing the situation after Claire walked out of the room.

What a beauty, with messy curly hair, sloppy clothes, thin body, pale face, Oldman was horrified. At this time, Claire began a series of seemingly normal provocative behaviors, not wearing underwear, deliberately puncturing her toes, and answering the phone to ridicule the old man. At this time, Oldman had been stoked. With a curiosity he had never experienced and full of fantasy about love, he approached cautiously, to please, to be suspicious, to buy her fancy clothes and jewelry, and to gain her sense of security. Take her to experience the outside world. After gaining trust, love fades away, and a moment of passion and joy makes Oldman completely fall into a spring dream, leading Claire into his lustful "holy place". When Claire's eyes are covered with priceless paintings, I believe Oldman almost heard the oracle - a meeting of the love of a lifetime.

At this time, you will definitely sigh, there must be something wrong with the tender grass that the old cow can eat!

Yes! The sincere attitude towards love is just to maintain the routines step by step, "Every fake hides some truth. When copying other people's works, the counterfeiters will add their own traces to the works because they cannot resist the temptation. Some bland and trivial details. From an inadvertent brushstroke, the true feelings of the counterfeiter will be revealed, making the counterfeiter inevitably betray himself." The

previous series of arrangements are just for the final collapse, this deception, gorgeous And short-lived, deeply in love people are blind, completely ignoring the flaws around them.

Do you think tech nerds can only identify Jules Verne's wife's perm helmet? He also understands sensual games.

Do you think your half-life partner is a layman who doesn't know how to appreciate art? He also counts money.

Do you think the ugly gnome is just a weirdo who keeps repeating numbers? She'll also give it all for a kiss.

Do you think love is real? It can also reproduce fakes.

Everything in front of him has disappeared. Oldman took the portrait of Claire and walked into the empty secret room, his heart was full of pain. Even so, he had to wait for the girl at Night and Day Cafe.
