If William could understand what Arthur said, he would probably go crazy.
Now William behaves as if he loves children, and teases Arthur with a very enthusiastic tone: "Little guy, can you understand English?"
Arthur could definitely understand, but Arthur did not answer William's words. Instead, he turned back and asked Ada: "Mom, is this guy out of his mind?"
"Yes, it seems a bit." Ada agreed seriously. At this time, she could see the benefits of knowing another language. These two women simply treated William as a fool.
"You should live more in big cities like London. This will be more conducive to your children's education." William was still pretending. He didn't want to think about it. Even if Ada wanted to live in Europe, it would probably be in Paris. What's so good about London?
, haze?
Arthur looked at Ada with confusion 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 mercilessly. Where she and Arthur lived mainly depended on Roark, and Ada needed to let him
Arthur is closer to Rock.
Single-parent families are very detrimental to the growth of children. Whether it is a father or a mother, the lack of any role will cause the child's character to be imperfect. Ada hopes that Arthur can grow up healthy and happy, so wherever Rock goes, Ada will
Take Arthur wherever you go, so that Rock can fulfill his father's responsibility and continue to accompany Arthur as he grows up.
As for education, there is really no need to worry about this issue. Ada also received an elite education when she was a child, and it was the kind of tutor specially hired at home. If Arthur needs it, Ada will also hire a tutor for Arthur.<
/p>
If Ada and Arthur continue to live in Johannesburg in the future, then Arthur will definitely attend Ziwei School. Although Ada does not care about Roark's inheritance rights, Ada still hopes that Arthur can be with Gavin.
Or maybe Rock and Phyllis' other children are closer.
"How can it be as bad as you say? London is the center of the world." William was so proud. This statement itself is correct, but it's a pity that he doesn't know how long it can last.
"I don't like him. I want to go and play with Little Tails." Arthur disliked William very much. Children's feelings are very keen.
Little Tails is one of Big Guy’s many children. He is only three months old now and is a little friend given to Arthur by Rock.
In fact, Ada doesn't like small animals very much, but Rock insists that letting children have more contact with small animals can cultivate children's love and sense of responsibility, which is very important for children's growth.
Arthur must have liked the gift Rock gave him. When Rock gave Little Tails to Arthur, he told Arthur to take care of Little Tails when he grew up. So Arthur liked Little Tails very much and not only let Little Tails live in
In his own room, he will also take the initiative to feed and drink water. He is really taking care of the little tail.
"Okay, I'll go with you." Ada doesn't like William either, and she has wasted so much time on William.
"Ada, you haven't accepted my invitation yet -" William felt confused. He had obviously had a good chat just now, but why did he leave just like that?
"I'm sorry, Mr. William, you can't call me by my name without my permission." Ada immediately turned her back. She didn't call her name casually, and it wasn't intimate to a certain extent. She had to be more reserved in her address to avoid misunderstanding.<
/p>
William didn't expect Ada to be so direct, and he immediately became a little angry.
"I'm sorry, Mr. William, please come here." At this time, De Gaulle's attitude was very firm. William came to visit Ada. If Ada didn't even meet, it would be Ada's rudeness.
Now that we have seen each other, if we are still entangled with him, it will be William’s own humiliation.
William turned around and left without saying a word. There would be no results if he stayed any longer.
When Roark came, he happened to see the back of William's carriage.
Roark was able to secretly come out to meet Ada in the name of having a drink with Neville Chamberlain.
Phyllis pretended not to know and didn't care where Roark went.
This is the smart thing to do, because Arthur and Rock will probably be entangled with Ada for the rest of their lives. If Phyllis doesn't let Rock and Ada meet, sooner or later it will affect Rock and Phyllis.
Relationship, in this case, Phyllis simply ignored it, which made Roark feel even more guilty and took the initiative to reduce the number of meetings with Ada.
Arthur has now learned to speak. After seeing Roark, he immediately reported to Roark that a very annoying stupid guy came to visit Ada just now, and he proudly described how he teased the guy.<
/p>
Rock looks at Ada.
Ada returned the look with a clear conscience.
Roque doesn't ask. Roque still trusts Ada in this kind of matter. Ada will definitely look down on people like William.
"I have collected a lot of things during this period. I am planning to set up a museum in Johannesburg. What do you think of this proposal?" Ada didn't mention William at all, and it made her sick to think about it. As soon as William left, Ada asked de Gaulle to take William away.
Throw away chairs and used tea sets.
If Roque knew, he would definitely not let Ada do this. Most of the furniture used in Ada's home is made of nanmu, and a chair will be worth a lot of money in the 21st century.
And most of the porcelain used by Ada is already a little old. This is what nobles hate the most. They treat things that can be put into museums as daily necessities without cherishing them at all. Ada is especially excessive in this regard.
All kinds of official kilns are used for guests, but she drinks water from a glass cup. She just wants to let the whole world know that she is very low-key.
"Okay, this is a good idea. Johannesburg needs various cultural facilities, museums, libraries, opera houses, cinemas - are there movies now?" Rock really doesn't know if there are movies now, as if movies were invented by Edison
of.
"Yes, I watched one a few days ago, but it was not 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 film itself.
It feels interesting to do things with Rock.
In 1893, Edison invented the movie mirror and created the "Prison Car" photography studio. From then on, movies appeared as a new form of entertainment.
This year a Nickelodeon theater appeared in Pittsburgh, the United States, and the admission ticket was a nickel. During this period, the major film companies were all in the United States, such as Edison, Biograph and Vitagraph. Each month's movies
The output is about 400 films. Two years ago, E.S. Bott filmed "The Life of an American Fireman" and "The Great Train Robbery". Films began to develop from a novelty to an art. Rock knows the power of movies. Americans probably haven't realized the propaganda role of movies yet. Only Rock in the world knows 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 the opportunity to Ada as alimony to Arthur.
The alimony was a bit too much, but Rock didn't feel bad. Arthur couldn't inherit Rock's title, which already made Rock feel guilty, so Rock was willing to give Arthur some compensation.
"Okay, shall we each take half?" Ada immediately agreed. The more such companies there are, the closer the relationship between Rock and Ada will be.
"Okay, first send people to the United States to buy machines, and then invite some professionals over -" Rock suddenly realized a problem. In the world today, there is probably no such thing as professionals.
E.S. Bout used editing techniques for the first time in the two films he shot, becoming 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 is a director, producer, cameraman and screenwriter. Now E.S. Bout is still working in the Edison Laboratory, and Rock is ready to pay a big price to
E.S. Porter was recruited to make movies for Rock.
Forget about being a screenwriter, Rock himself is a more qualified screenwriter than E.S. Bout. Rock has watched countless movies in his previous life, and he can subvert the film industry of this era with just a few creative ideas.
"Then what?" Ada still doesn't know the value of the movie. If you want to make money, it seems that Rock has a better way.
"Then make a movie, attract people into the cinema, and exert an influence on them without them realizing it." Rock was not worried about the prospects of the movie, he was only worried about whether E.S. Bout could make it, Rock thought.
What you want.
It is too easy to use movies to exert influence. If Rock targets the Boers, then let the Boers become the villains in the movies. If we make more movies like this, the image of the Boers as villains will be deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
If Rock wants to improve the status of the Chinese, then the Chinese must be the best gentlemen in the movie. They are not only helpful, but also generous and kind. If there are more such images, then the concept that the Chinese are equal to gentlemen will 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.
"Not just elections, any convenient movie can play a role, and the role movies can play is beyond your imagination." Rock did not forget Arthur when chatting with Ada, and Arthur was preparing dinner for Little Tails with his own hands.<
/p>
Little Tail's dinner was still very sumptuous. The staple food was eggs and beef, as well as vegetables and fruits. The proportion of flour was a bit small. All the ingredients had to be processed and steamed in a pot.
The materials that Arthur has processed have to be reprocessed by the maid before they can be used, but this does not affect Arthur's enthusiasm. Arthur remembers every word of what Rock said.
