"Good afternoon Leonardo, welcome to my private exhibition"
Xiao Ran said politely and bumped elbows with Leonardo DiCaprio, who had just arrived.
Leonardo is a well-known celebrity collector in Hollywood. He has a rich collection, including masterpieces by top art masters such as Dali.
"Good afternoon, Sean, nice to meet you. Thank you for the invitation and allowing me to come to this exhibition."
"I heard from Julia that you have a surrealist work by Joan Miró for auction. I'm very interested in it."
Leonardo said with a smile and looked at Xiao Ran curiously.
In Beverly Hills, Xiao Ran is now a legendary figure, and everyone is full of curiosity about him.
Many of the A-list Hollywood stars who live here now have nothing to film or do.
Staying at home alone is so idle that your hair is almost growing.
Hearing that there was a top-notch private exhibition in the villa, everyone was reluctant to miss this excitement.
Especially the many celebrities and wealthy people who like to collect it are flocking to it!
After receiving the news, these guys immediately swarmed here.
Faced with this situation, Xiao Ran had to expand the scale of the exhibition.
He took some of the treasures in stock for exhibition and auction, preparing to take the opportunity to make a fortune!
Just as he was saying hello to Leonardo, Elaine and Fang Yufei beside them were starry-eyed and excited.
Even though this once super handsome man has almost become a ball, they are still full of admiration.
Not only them, many female fans in the live broadcast room also screamed.
"Wow! It's actually Little Plum. Am I dazzled? Am I still dreaming?"
"Xiao Ran, you are so awesome. You can actually get all the little plums here. I admire you!"
Sister Min said excitedly.
Immediately afterwards, the cat hiding in the corner continued:
"I haven't mentioned it yet. This live video must be saved. It's so memorable."
"I didn't expect that one day I would be able to bid at the same auction as Li Zi. It's so exciting!"
"It's a pity that Little Plum's image is so miserable. How fat has he become? It's too miserable to look at!"
Before he finished speaking, the live broadcast room was already filled with laughter.
Xiao Ran couldn't help but laugh too.
Then, he pointed to the high-definition camera pinned to his chest.
"Leonardo, I am doing a live broadcast. Among my Chinese fans and buyers, many of them are your fans."
"If you don't mind, can you say hello to those guys? Not only can they see you, but they can also hear your voice."
Leonardo did not refuse, and then smiled and nodded.
"I heard Julia say that you will conduct a live video broadcast at the scene, and I don't mind."
"This is very interesting. This is the first time I have seen someone doing this antique art business. It is very fresh."
As he spoke, he waved to the high-definition camera.
"Good morning, guys, I'm Leonardo DiCaprio, thank you for your support."
It's obvious that this guy is very attentive.
He knew it was morning in China, so he said hello like this.
Following his words, cheers immediately erupted in the live broadcast room.
Especially the female fans, all of them were excited.
Next, Xiao Ran introduced Yi Lian and Fang Yufei.
Although the two beauties liked Leonardo very much, they behaved appropriately and did not come up to ask for autographs or photos.
During this period of time, they have seen too many A-list Hollywood stars, and they have long been immune.
Now when they meet a celebrity they like, they will only be excited for a moment at most and will not behave like ordinary fans.
After saying hello, Xiao Ran took Leonardo into the villa.
This small exhibition and auction is arranged in the living room.
The living room and viewing terrace are large enough for exhibitions.
Many antique cultural relics and works of art for exhibition and auction, as well as some dazzling gold and silver treasures, have been arranged.
Some of them are placed on easels, some on the floor, and some in bulletproof glass display cases, scattered throughout the living room and viewing terrace.
In front of every painting, every sculpture, and every display cabinet, there are more or less a few people gathering to admire it.
Most of them are Hollywood A-list stars, such as Swift and Julia.
In addition, there are some sports stars and various wealthy people who live in Beverly Hills.
Then there are some of Los Angeles’ top collectors, as well as several top art dealers and appraisal experts.
In the crowd, there are also a few old friends from UCLA, including Philip and Stephen.
All these people added up to fifty or sixty people, and the scene was very lively.
Those responsible for on-site service and explanations are some employees of Feilong Zaitian Exploration Company, and no professional service personnel are hired.
This is a helpless move under special circumstances, and everyone understands it.
As soon as he entered the living room, Leonardo's eyes were attracted by a bronze sculpture.
This is a matchstick-like humanoid sculpture in a walking posture, like a walking skeleton.
At first glance, this modern sculpture feels lonely and thin, as well as sad and desolate.
If you taste it carefully, you can see a bit of stubbornness and nobility, as well as a full poetic temperament.
Coming closer, Leonardo looked at the bronze sculpture carefully with gleaming eyes, full of fascination.
Several celebrities and collectors here nodded and greeted him, but this guy regarded them as nothing and completely ignored them.
Everyone didn't pay attention and just laughed softly.
When they saw this bronze sculpture before, it was not the same behavior!
After admiring it for a moment, Leonardo woke up.
Immediately afterwards, the guy asked excitedly:
"Sean, if I'm not mistaken, this should be a work by Giacometti, the master of surrealist existential sculpture."
"And it is the famous "Walking Man" series. As early as ten years ago, a sculpture from this series was sold for a sky-high price of US$100 million."
"In 2015, another of his bronze sculptures, "The Instructor," was auctioned for an astonishing price of US$150 million."
Xiao Ran smiled and nodded.
"It seems you know a lot about Giacometti, the master of surrealist existential sculpture, Leonardo"
"Yes, this is indeed a work by Giacometti, and it is one of the sculptures in the "Walking Man" series"
"The "Walking Man" sold in London ten years ago was created in the same year as this sculpture, but the posture is slightly different."
Before he finished speaking, Leonardo was already exclamating.
"Oh my God! It's actually a work by Giacometti. I can't even imagine how expensive this sculpture is."
Xiao Ran just smiled and did not respond.
Just this "Walking Man", with Leonardo's strength, he could barely afford it!
But after buying this sculpture, he had to eat chaffy vegetables!
This may be good news for his countless fans.
Maybe he will lose weight and become a super handsome man again.
Or should I say, he is a handsome uncle, not the greasy fat man in front of him.
While he was talking, Sam's voice suddenly came from the walkie-talkie, and he seemed to be smiling.
"Sean, Brad Pitt and Aniston are here. They arrived together."
The moment he heard the report, Xiao Ran was stunned.
Others around him were also stunned.
Immediately afterwards, everyone turned their heads and looked towards the viewing terrace.
On the viewing terrace.
Angelina Jolie is holding a glass of top-quality Dom Perignon champagne and is concentrating on admiring the statue of Quetzalcoatl!
The moment he saw Julie, Xiao Ran suddenly felt a headache.
"Fake! Who invited Brad and Jennifer?"
"The two of them arrived together. Could it be that their old relationship has rekindled?"
"Add Angelina into the mix, it's like Mars hitting the Earth!"
Before he finished speaking, the scene immediately exploded.
"Hahaha"
Everyone laughed and got excited.
Obviously, these guys understand and are looking forward to it.
There will definitely be something good to watch today, and there will probably be a wonderful fight!
Amidst the laughter, Xiao Ran turned around and walked towards the door with Elaine who was overjoyed.
Angelina Jolie, who was staying on the viewing terrace, looked into the living room in surprise, not understanding what was happening.
Little did she know that everyone was waiting for her to transform into Lara Croft from Tomb Raider and have a fierce battle with Aniston who was about to come in!
Seeing Julie's blank expression, the laughter in the living room suddenly became louder.
At this time, the live broadcast room was as lively as a boiling pot.
"Fuck! The fight of the century! This is probably the most exciting fight show in Hollywood this year."
Marionette said with a laugh.
"Hahaha, I'll take Aniston's side in this big fight and tear up Jolie, the mistress!"
"I really want to see Pete's expression later, it will definitely be very exciting."
Yue Yehua Qingming continued with a smile.
Before he finished speaking, the live broadcast room suddenly became more chaotic.
Everyone took melon seeds and benches to stand in line, some supporting Jolie and some supporting Aniston.
There are also people who support Peter, all with the mentality of just watching the fun and not taking it too seriously.
For a moment, the live broadcast room became a mess.
Xiao Ran shook his head helplessly, but his eyes were full of smiles.
While he was talking, he and Elaine had arrived outside the door.
As soon as they came out, they saw it.
Pitt and Aniston were staring at each other, and the atmosphere was quite awkward.
Aniston, in particular, looked angry and gritted her teeth.
After hearing the news, many media reporters and paparazzi came, holding up their cameras and enjoying themselves.
These guys kept pressing the shutter to take pictures while trying not to laugh.
They understand that today is likely to be a battle of the century!
Ten minutes ago, they saw with their own eyes that Angelina Jolie entered the top mansion in front of them.
When Pitt and Aniston go in, you will know what will happen next!
That scene was definitely like sparks hitting the earth!
It's a pity that this is a private exhibition, and reporters can't enter at all, so naturally they can't take photos of the scene.
Seeing Pitt and Aniston fighting like cocks, Xiao Ran suddenly chewed his teeth.
However, he still had to bravely step forward to greet him.
