Reborn South Africa as a police officer

Chapter 466

If William could understand what Arthur was saying, William would probably be mad.

Now William is acting as if he likes children so much, and teases Arthur with a very enthusiastic tone: "Little guy, can you understand English?"

Arthur must be able to understand, but Arthur did not answer what William said, but turned around and asked Ada: "Mom, is this guy out of his mind?"

"Yes, it seems a little bit." Ada agreed seriously, and at this moment, she could see the benefits of knowing another language. These girls simply played William for a fool.

"You should live more in a big city like London, which will be more conducive to your children's education." William was still pretending, and he didn't think about it. Even if Ada wanted to live in Europe, she would probably be in Paris. What's so good about London? , smog?

Arthur looked at Ada with doubts in his eyes, obviously not understanding why William cared so much about him and Ada.

"London is terrible here. The air pollution is serious, the streets are narrow, and the whole city smells of decay." Ada complained relentlessly. Where she and Arthur lived mainly depended on Rocco. Arthur moved closer to Rock.

A single-parent family is very unfavorable for a child's growth. Whether it is a father or a mother, the lack of any role will cause the child's personality to be imperfect. Ada hopes that Arthur can grow up healthily and happily, so wherever Rock goes, Ida will Take Arthur where to go, so that Rock can fulfill his father's responsibility and continue to accompany Arthur to grow up.

As for education, there is really no need to worry about this issue. Ada also received elite education when she was a child, and it was the kind of tutor that was specially hired at home. If Arthur needed it, Ada would also hire a tutor for Arthur.

If Ida and Arthur have been living in Johannesburg in the future, then Arthur will definitely study at Bigwig College. Although Ida is not interested in Roque's right to inherit the title, Ida still hopes that Arthur can be with Gavin, Or maybe Rock is a little closer to Phyllis' other kids.

"How could it be as bad as you said, London is the center of the world." William is so proud, this is true in itself, but it's a pity that he doesn't know how long it can last.

"I don't like him, I want to find Little Tail to play with." Arthur disliked William very much, children have very keen senses.

Little Tail is one of the many children of the big man. It is only three months old now, and it is the little friend Rock gave to Arthur.

In fact, Ida doesn't like small animals very much, but Rock insists that letting children get in touch with small animals more can cultivate children's love and sense of responsibility, which is very important for children's growth.

Arthur must have liked the gift that Rock gave him. When Rock gave Arthur the little tail, he told Arthur to take care of the little tail, so Arthur liked the little tail very much. Not only did he let the little tail live In his own room, he will take the initiative to feed and drink water, and he is really taking care of the little tail.

"Okay, I'll go with you." Ada didn't like William either, enough time wasted on William.

"Ada, you haven't accepted my invitation yet—" William felt baffled, since we had a good chat just now, he left as he said.

"I'm sorry, Mr. William, but you can't call me by my name without my permission." Ada immediately turned his face. The name is not called casually, and it is not intimate to a certain degree. It is still necessary to be more reserved in terms of address, so as not to be misunderstood.

William didn't expect Ada to be so direct, and immediately became a little annoyed.

"I'm sorry, Mr. William, this way please." At this time, De Gaulle's attitude was very firm. William came to visit Ada. If Ada didn't even see her, it would be Ada's rudeness first.

Now that I've seen her, if you still keep pestering her, it's William's own disgrace.

William turned around and left without saying a word, and there would be no result if he stayed any longer.

When Rock came, he happened to see the back of William's carriage.

Rock was able to sneak out to meet Ada in the name of having a drink with Neville Chamberlain.

Phyllis pretended not to know on the surface, and didn't care where Roque was going.

This is the smart way, because Arthur and Roque will probably be entangled with Ida in this life. If Phyllis does not let Roque and Ida meet, it will affect the relationship between Roque and Phyllis sooner or later. In this case, Phyllis simply ignored it, which made Rock feel more guilty and took the initiative to reduce the number of meetings with Ada.

Arthur has learned how to speak now, and immediately reported to Rock after seeing him. Just now, a very annoying stupid guy came to visit Ida, and he proudly described how he teased that guy.

Rock looked at Ada.

Ada returned with a clear and honest look.

Rock doesn't ask. Rock still trusts Ida in this kind of thing. Ida definitely doesn't like someone like William.

"I've collected a lot during this time. I'm planning to set up a museum in Johannesburg. What do you think of this proposal?" Ada didn't mention William at all, and she felt disgusted when he thought about it. As soon as William left, Ada asked de Gaulle to take William Throw away used chairs and used tea sets.

If Rock knew, he would definitely not let Ada do this. Most of the furniture used in Ada's house was made of nanmu, and a chair would be worth a lot of money in the 21st century.

Also, most of the porcelain used by Ada has been around for a while. The aristocrats hate it the most. Things that can be included in museums should be treated as daily necessities, and they don’t cherish them at all. Ada is especially in this regard. The guests use all kinds of official kilns, but she drinks water from a glass cup. She really wants to let the whole world know that she is very low-key.

"Okay, that's a good proposal. Johannesburg needs various cultural facilities, museums, libraries, opera houses, cinemas—do you have movies now?" Rock really didn't know if there were movies now, as if movies were invented by Edison of.

"Yes, I watched one a few days ago, but it wasn't good, the movie had no sound, and a band accompaniment and artificial narration were used on the scene—" Ada was very interested, not in the movie itself, but in the movie itself. It feels interesting to do things with Roque.

In 1893, Edison invented the movie mirror and created the "Prison Car" filming set. Since then, movies have emerged as a new form of entertainment.

This year, a nickel theater appeared in Pittsburgh, the United States, and the admission ticket was a 5-cent nickel. During this period, the major film companies were all in the United States, such as Edison, Biograph and Vitagraph. The output is around 400. Two years ago, E. S. Porter filmed "The Life of an American Fireman" and "The Great Train Robbery". The film developed from a novelty to an art.

Rock knows the power of movies. Now Americans probably haven't realized the propaganda function of movies. Only Rock knows in the world that movies will become a very important propaganda position, so Rock must find a way to make good use of this feature. This will maximize the status of the Chinese in southern Africa, and even in the entire world.

"Are you interested in setting up a film company?" Rock gave up the opportunity to Ada, treating it as alimony for Arthur.

The alimony was a bit too much, but Roque didn't feel sorry for it. Arthur couldn't have Roque's right to inherit the title, which already made Roque very guilty, so Roque was willing to give Arthur some compensation.

"Okay, are we still half of us?" Ada agreed immediately, the more companies like this, the closer the relationship between Rock and Ada would be.

"Okay, first send people to the United States to buy machines, and then invite some professionals to come over—" Rock suddenly realized a problem. In the current world, there is no such thing as professionals.

E. S. Bout used editing techniques for the first time in the two films he shot, and became the first director to use cross-editing techniques to create dramatic effects.

E.S. Bout is the most high-end talent in the world. He himself is a director, a producer, a cameraman and a screenwriter. Now E.S. Bouter is still working in the Edison Laboratory. E. S. Porter poached, specifically for Rock to make movies.

Forget about the screenwriter, Rock himself is a more qualified screenwriter than E. S. Porter. In his previous life, Rock didn't know how many movies he had seen, and he could subvert the film industry of this era with just a few ideas.

"And then?" Ada still doesn't know the value of the movie. If she wants to make money, it seems that Rock has a better way.

"Then make a movie, attract people into the movie theater, and influence them before they realize it." Rock is not worried about the prospect of the movie, but only worried about whether E. S. Porter can make it. Rock thinks something you want.

It is too easy to use movies to exert influence. If Roque targets the Boers, then let the Boers become the villains in the movie. If a few more such movies are made, the image of the Boers villains will be deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

If Roque wants to improve the status of the Chinese, then the Chinese must be the best gentleman in the movie. He is not only helpful, but also generous and kind. If there are many such images, then the concept that Chinese are equal to gentlemen will also be deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

"Sounds very promising, can this be used in elections?" Ada was very smart, and immediately drew inferences from one instance.

"It's not just elections, any convenient movie can play a role, and the effect that movies can play is beyond your imagination." When Rock was chatting with Ada, he didn't forget Arthur, and Arthur was preparing dinner for Little Tail himself.

Xiaowei's dinner is still very rich. The main food is eggs and beef, as well as vegetables and fruits. The proportion of flour is a bit small. All the ingredients must be processed and steamed in a pot.

The materials that Arthur had processed could only be used after being reprocessed by the maid, but this did not affect Arthur's enthusiasm. Arthur remembered every word that Rock had said.
