How much are you willing to spend for me?
Go ahead.
how do you know if what awaits you is a love affair or a scam?
recently I saw a movie called "Best bid". It is said that it is a romantic film, but it does not entirely belong to the category of "love". It is said that it is a suspense film, and it cannot be completely included. After watching this film, you will find that this is a scam about love. Only then can you realize the inner meaning of the film title?
the leading actor is Mr. Oldman, a master auctioneer at a top art auction house who can tell the real from the fake at a glance. His pride lies in that he always knows the best time to bid and turn precious paintings into his private collection.
he likes to collect portraits of beautiful girls. There is a scene in the film in which Mr. Oldman sits in his studio, admiring his collection of paintings, surrounded by a wall of portraits of young girls. It is the inhumane loneliness behind his elegant surface.
one day, he received a phone call. On the other end of the phone was a young woman who said she had a lot of valuable works of art at home and had to be evaluated by Mr. Oldman himself.
but when he came to the woman's old house, he failed to see the woman and was stood up many times in a row. Mr. Oldman was a little angry. I learned from the servant that the hostess was afraid of "socializing", and even the servants had never seen her true face.
so Mr. Oldman began to try to talk to the woman through the door, not face to face, to help her evaluate her antiques. Over time, Mr. Oldman found himself falling in love with women.
finally, one day, Mr. Oldman could not contain his curiosity. After one day's evaluation, he pretended to leave, but in fact, he hid it secretly, and finally, he saw what the woman looked like.
Mr. Oldman found himself unwittingly in love with this woman.
Mr. Oldman's originally single and boring life seems to have gained more vitality because of the addition of this woman. He began to learn to care about her, learn to buy flowers for her to make her happy, chat with friends who will always inadvertently mention her.
he helps a woman choose clothes, helps her celebrate her birthday, and takes her to meet his friends.
this old man, who has never been in love, seems to feel the charm of true love at this moment.

one day, the woman disappeared.
Mr. Oldman was so anxious that he was late for his auction, absent-minded and absent-minded.
finally, I found her in the attic of the old house.
he took her home to take good care of her.
that night, when Mr. Oldman wanted to find her again, he was beaten by three hooligans on the way. Mr. Oldman called the woman as soon as possible, and the woman called the hospital eagerly. Mr. Oldman smiled on his way to the hospital.
the interpretation of this smile, I think it is probably a feeling of happiness that is cared about by the person you like. In short, Mr. Oldman at this time was happy and satisfied.
after that, Mr. Oldman showed the women around his collection, and they were more honest with each other and seemed to have a closer relationship.
Mr. Oldman also announced to the public that he would attend the last auction of his life and then retire to spend the night with his beloved woman.
when you think that the story will have a romantic and warm ending, you are very wrong.
like the question raised at the beginning, how do you know if what awaits you is a romantic encounter or an elaborate hoax? At this time, this big scam based on love unveiled its cruel reality.
when Mr. Oldman came home from his auction, he saw that his carefully managed collection had been ransacked and all his collection of paintings had disappeared.
in the scene in the movie, Mr. Oldman stood in the middle of the hiding room, surrounded by dead, pale walls.
some people must have guessed that the woman Mr. Oldman finally fell in love with was a complete liar. He nearly broke down and ran to the woman's house, trying to find out, but what was waiting for him was a sad and powerless truth.
everything was planned, and Mr. Oldman spent most of his life shrewd, giving everything for the last time, but lost everything.
at the end of the film, Mr. Oldman comes to the restaurant that the woman mentioned earlier. He sits alone, waiting, seemingly expecting that the woman will appear from the door of the restaurant.
for Mr. Oldman, he has spent most of his life dealing with paintings and money, always conceited and shrewd. Behind the seemingly perfect elegance is his loneliness and a heart that longs to be loved.
so he met the heroine and fell in love with the heroine, even if it was a hoax.
in the end, he looked forward to it in the restaurant, probably with some gentle expectations in his heart. For him, he was willing to pay all the price for falling in love with someone.
people who fall in love lose the worst, but who can firmly say that they can tell the truth from the false in the relationship, can control the bid, the sincere game, and the duel of routines? most of the time, we all know that the love we are facing is just a hoax without gunpowder smoke, but what does it matter if we lose?.
at least I used to have you.
