Listening to Tian Lihe kan cross-talk| traditional cross-talk · 8.《Waitress》

Traditional cross-talk "Waitress", this paragraph one person said that stand-up is also OK, two people say the right person can also do, there is no dead rule, why stand-up two people say it, he is to save energy, so as to attract the audience. In the mid-1990s, when recording traditional cross-talk, I rearranged this "Waitress" and met with the audience.

This refers to the waitress of the restaurant, the old era of the restaurant is a male waiter, the male waiter is called "running the hall", also known as "the hall", the location of the restaurant is quite important, the restaurant, the restaurant, in order to prosper, three departments: the hall, the cabinet, the stove, these three links must be a strong hand, the hall is the hall, must be an apprentice, Tianjin is an immigrant city, five parties miscellaneous land, the country's major cuisine restaurants, restaurants are operating in Tianjin, for example, Shandong pavilion, Famous big restaurants: Dengying Lou, TianheYu, Tongfu Lou, a little smaller Jinyu Lou, etc., these restaurants' halls, cabinets, stoves are all shandong hometown children, apprentices here, take this running hall to say, after leaving the teacher to cope with the lobby, what specifications of the banquet, how to arrange, the ratio of dishes, the season - what season and what dish should be - and then say the status of the guests, taste, you have to understand, the shop's signature dishes are all mastered, the technology of serving soup, the attitude to deal with different guests, etc., They all have to undergo rigorous professional training. Unlike some catering centers now, although the shop is large, it is also cheap, and the hired waiters are very low-paid, serving soup and cooking. Your guest wants to ask, one question three do not know, some of them do not know what cuisine, so it is easy to do, what to do? Some catering, large stores, he put this finished dish in the lobby where, the guests choose their own, you order, if I come up with my own ideas, order a dish by myself, you order also white points, he does not! Yes, are finished products, what cuisine is operated in this shop, you ask this waiter, some are dazed and ignorant, east and west, north and south smorgasbord, stewed and boiled, the whole line, is not fried, to wait for children's dishes, can not do, after eating lobster, bottom paste cake, hand rolling noodle soup, Chinese and foreign combination, earth and ocean combination, is such a way to eat, this is called "fashion". If you want to question it, it is not appropriate, you are the old soil, we are far away.

We also say that the waitress, the waitress is the female hall, so nicknamed, in the thirties of the last century, the hundred industries were depressed, the restaurant in order to survive the competition, switched to the waitress, attracted customers, the waitress had a number on the chest, the first child, the second child, the third child... The whole table of the banquet, the guests came, the hostess, the waitress and the second profession, what is the second profession? Hey, for example, it's like making a TV series about crosstalk... No, it's not the same!

This kind of waitress, such cross-talk is born at the right time, it is said that it involves the catering industry waitress, there are several different versions, three versions, I recorded, this is a version, another version, I learned from Mr. Feng Liduo, the main content, ah, is the male customer by looking for a waitress to order, deliberate Luo Wei, deliberate Luo Hao female waitress Ah, the waitress turned over to play with customers, made a lot of jokes.

There is another version, my teacher Mr. Zhang Shouchen his version, I watched him act once during my apprenticeship, the technique is also a before and after comparison, a positive and a negative, in front of the old restaurant, resolutely do not use a waitress, with a male running hall, the old man of the old man, the running hall is older, more than the current retirement age, the legs and feet are not zipline, the speech is not clear, the ears are also deaf, hey, the reaction is slow, so, this guest's dish, the deaf ears of the running hall and the guests fight with the guests, answering the question, So make a joke, the back is the waitress, said the waitress Xia Jingtian at eleven o'clock at noon, the restaurant ah there are no guests, a few waitresses upstairs opened the window of the building, thick makeup, flowers and branches, in the hand of the cigarette, paper cigarette, some melon seeds, this melon seed peel from the mouth to the outside of the window to spit, this cigarette butt, throw downstairs, flirting, flirtatious, disgusting, pedestrians on the road look up, hook the soul, the eyes are straight, the body can't help it, go upstairs! Sitting there, not yet seated, not fixed, the waitress saw that a guest was coming, and quickly asked: "What kind of food do you want?" This man knew, "Oh, here's the restaurant!" Tell the other person: "I... Just finished eating and came out of the house. At this time, he smelled the smell of this burning cloth, the smell of paste, and told the waitress: "No, you have to pay attention to this shop, pay attention to the candles, be careful of fire..." Before the voice fell, he found that the cigarette butts had burned his own collar!

My teacher Mr. Zhang Shouchen acted at this time, he was mainly talking, when he learned this waitress, he just clicked, never make a fuss in this regard, because he most hated male cross-talk actors learning women on stage, especially over-learning, he hated. He's going to put this to the point, and he says it's a mistake. The bottom of the end of this paragraph, it is difficult to act, the more natural the more real, in order to be just right, I have now, to his performance of this "Waitress" this paragraph, I do not dare to rush to try, I am afraid of the bottom, make it not sound! It's just that the audience is not happy.

At that time, chinese and Western food restaurants have waitresses, in addition to the restaurant catering industry, the theater also calls the waiter a waitress, because it sells tea, so there is also a nickname, called "glass", about the cross-talk that reflects the waitresses of the cinema, I have heard Mr. Yan Xiaoru of the Tianjin Heping District Qu Art Troupe, and Mr. Zhang Baoru of the Tianjin Hongqiao District Qu Art Troupe They have two versions, their two versions have nothing in common, according to their own life experience and artistic achievements, may be self-written and self-performing programs, these two paragraphs, I still remember it vividly, and we will talk about it next time about this aspect.
