    Four resumes were put in the bag, with the bag on his back and the meal replacement energy bar in his mouth. Lu Ze stood in front of the mirror and gathered his hair. The collar of the polo shirt was rearranged and he took out the Piaget Polo series of roses provided by the spokesperson. The gold watch is worn well, and the overall temperament has changed. It is not as majestic as wearing a suit, but rather gentle, which makes people dare to get close.

    Hearing the grievances of the teacher’s wife saying that she should eat to lose weight, she can’t always eat meal replacements, and it’s unhealthy, etc., Lu Ze smiled, self-examined, actually rubbed the soles of her feet, and ran out with the car keys. Note that the car is out of sight.

    Today was the first day of the formal meeting with his four students. At noon, Lu Ze decided on the destination of the gathering, which was in a restaurant near the father’s house.

    The film crew didn’t follow me today, and didn’t dare to enter the old man’s house to shoot. So I went to the library to set up the equipment and filmed the scene where the four students who met alone for the first time met. The PD’s feedback said it’s the present. The four children are all here, get along well and are chatting vigorously.

    It takes ten minutes to drive to the destination. This restaurant was brought to him by the second brother a year ago. It is a very delicious palace restaurant. The price cannot be said to be cheap. After all, the land is located here, but it is similar to other famous restaurants nearby. Compared with that, it belongs to the class that the ordinary people can endure even if they bear the pain.

    The taste is good, the food is authentic, and the price is not too expensive. At noon, a lot of people naturally sat at the meal. Lu Ze stood at the door and looked around. There were less than 30 tables for dine-in, basically all of them were seated. It was full, and PD was waiting at the front desk, and took Lu Ze directly to the second floor. There were a lot of people upstairs. He started drinking at noon, and the noisy atmosphere was comfortable.

    “Teacher Lu, you come in.”

    Through the door , you can hear the laughter of a girl inside. It seems that the conversation is really good. I want to come. There are two children from the Imperial Capital. Both of them are very poor. One school, one department, you know each other, and the atmosphere around them is guaranteed to be lively.

    After knocking on the door and getting a response, Lu Ze opened the door and went in. The private room was quiet for an instant. The child with a hippie smile instantly resembled a sick chick and hurriedly stood up to say hello to Lu Ze.

    The private room of the middle package is not big, about a dozen square meters in size, and there is no room to put anything outside a dining table. The seat for the four children is quite interesting. The front east seat is empty, which is reserved for Lu Ze. , Lu Ze has Peng Kuo and Ju Yulin on his left, Wu Chun on his right, and Chen Dongsheng on the opposite side.

    “Sit all, let’s serve the

    food , are we all starving?” On the empty chair with the schoolbag set aside, Lu Ze Dama Jindao sat in the main seat. This stage is actually very embarrassing. The number of people is still small. No one dared to chat about whispering, let alone playing with a mobile phone. They could only watch the nose and be a kind of low-headed clan, and I don’t know if looking at the floor tiles can make the floor tiles look like.

    This kind of embarrassing atmosphere was brought by Lu Ze, and naturally he had to rely on Lu Ze to get rid of it. The question is what to talk about? At this time, we talked about things like, “When did you arrive?”, “Are you all hungry?” This kind of nutritious nonsense is pure boring fart, and Lu Ze didn’t ask at first. Instead, he said something.

    “Xiao Peng, you can ask the waiter if he has tea, any kind of tea will do. Pour me a cup.”

    To put it ugly, people are very cheap, and often when the opponent’s gesture of raising hands completely overwhelms you, you will be depressed, and even the cowardly ones will have difficulty breathing, but he will call you once, you It’s all right, everything is gone, but the spirit will be refreshed, and I will be able to do everything. How can I go about it?

    The others didn’t respond. The called Peng Kuo immediately got excited. He screamed and rushed out. Soon he took a pot of tea and poured a cup of tea for Lu Ze. This time, the waiter also served the food. The tables are all set, and the dishes are ready. The other three help to arrange the dishes one by one, and the atmosphere gradually eases.

    What can you talk to a bunch of kids who are almost twenty years younger than you? At the dinner table, you must first talk about the amount of alcohol, pour a glass of wine, don’t care about a white beer, don’t care about drinking or not, talking will be easier than pouring a drink.

    It’s not a bad child. The young people nowadays are really not as shy as Lu Ze’s young people at that time. Everyone on the short video platform is Bacchus. It doesn’t matter if you drink two glasses less.

    Only PD, who looked at the monitor, turned a little dark, but he was not in the room, let alone opposing Lu Ze, so he could only bite the bullet and mark the time period, preparing to cut the shots of pouring the wine.

    Lu Ze didn’t drink it. He wouldn’t rely on some alcoholic beverages to get himself active. The next step is to chat with young people who don’t have a job. They talk about hometown, food, and entertainment. The opposite is that the work party must talk about it. Talk about three-piece suits, talk about industries, talk about policies, and talk about costs. Around these topics, as long as the words are not unpleasant, they will basically not collapse.

    The second very important point is to chat with unfamiliar people. It’s best not to only focus on both sides of the conversation. Try to bring in a third appellation in the subject that you know and he also knows. It’s just him or them. Everyone is willing to talk a little more about their own topics. Here, Lu Ze is talking about Jiang Zhongjie, the tutor in Pengkuo’s school.

    “Lao Jiang is a funny guy. You told him that you were selected, right? The night before, at around seven o’clock, you called me and told me, Xiao Peng is a good seedling, and the look in my eyes is not bad. Okay, much better than Song Guiyuan.”

    Lu Ze also deliberately imitated the tone of Xia Jiang Zhongjie’s speech, a movie actor, can you not learn the same, the face of this handsome guy who was originally poor was flushed, and the other three children laughed teasingly.

    “Yes, after Mr. Jiang knows that I want to learn from you, he specifically asked me to tell me more to let me learn from you. You are very capable, and I will learn a one-and-a-half-style trick, and I will have nothing to worry about in my life.”

    “Then you guys. I have to study hard. I can eat enough with this trick, but I can’t get enough for half of the trick.” During the

    conversation, Lu Ze glanced at Chen Dongsheng. He was also laughing, not out of place, but it was difficult to intervene among the other three. If you enter, this is related to the self-confidence of the other three children, and also has a lot to do with his own introversion. To do their job, of course, extroversion has the advantage, but the point is not this. Lu Ze noticed. He is now better than Happy with his mother.

    Lu Ze actually doesn’t want to teach a gloomy student, because with Lu Ze’s teaching method, a gloomy person can easily stay in the small world that Lu Ze helped him create, and he can’t make it out of his own small world. It was very dangerous, and Lu Ze didn’t want to be an accomplice to let him indulge, so seeing Chen Dongsheng echoing, even if he didn’t talk much, Lu Ze was relieved.

    The topic continued, but after drinking a few cups, the topic changed from short stories in the parents and anecdotes in the circle to more professional things, and the problem gradually changed from a general to a single one. It was based on local materials and talked about how to act as a waiter and let Lu Ze Fortunately, this question was raised by Chen Dongsheng.

    Compared with film and television performances, Chen Dongsheng, who previously specialized in stage performances, can be regarded as the strongest performer of the four, and he can handle all kinds of difficult stage plays.

    But for the way of film and television performances, it cannot be denied that he still lacks some experience, which makes him have a relatively single performance ability. For example, he can play some brilliant roles, but for some ordinary roles, it is somewhat difficult to cope with, so he Lu Ze was very pleased to ask this question, because he could quickly find his shortcomings.

    “

    Have you ever worked as a waiter?” Lu Ze basically didn’t move his chopsticks, leaning on the back of his chair, regardless of whether the camera was taken, lit a cigarette, and asked the four people, except for Chen Dongsheng, the other three shook their heads.

    “Come on, starting with Chen Dongsheng, take the largest plate of dishes, go out and then come in and serve the dishes.”

    Without a second word, Xiao Chen was also easy, and went out with the plate. After a few seconds, knocked on the door, came in, and spoke first. “Hello, what you ordered.”

    Seeing Lu Ze nodded, the plate was placed on the table. After setting it, he turned and went out. After a while, he re-entered and sat in his seat. He hesitated and asked Lu Ze: “Lu Teacher, okay?”

    “You let them say.”

    Lu Ze turned his head and asked the three of them.

    “I think it’s okay.”

    “I also think it’s good, it’s normal.”

    “No problem.”

    “Then you guys try one by one.” The

    three of them heard the words and brought the dishes one by one . After walking a few times, this is a very simple simulation. As for the dishes, everyone knows it. Naturally, there is nothing difficult. The four of them also think they performed well. They gave each other good reviews. Lu Ze just finished smoking the cigarette. , Lower your head and press the cigarette butt in the ashtray to extinguish.

    “If you want me to score, you…really pass the pass.”

    “Why?”

    Lu Ze smiled when facing the four curious babies: “You passed the professional class, but is it a show for the cooking now?”

    “Yes… …Or is it not…” The

    four people were confused by these words. If it was a performance, it was indeed. After all, serving is a process of performance, but the process of serving is real, so it can be counted as performing a serving. Is the process of serving dishes mixed with performances?

    “This is the crux of the problem, because you didn’t understand my question at all. I asked you to really serve me instead of serving me, understand? Simply put, you have no internal taste. “

    Then… teacher, where are we?”

    Wu Chun was the youngest and was relatively straightforward. She spoke first when others were thinking.

    “Where is the difference? Go and call the waiter.”

    Xiao Chen still ran errands. The waiter in navy blue overalls walked in. Lu Ze smiled when the four of them were still looking up and down the waiter with himself. Speak to the waiter.

    “Hello, how many catties is the heaviest soup here?”

    “For fish soup, there are two catties of fish, plus the soup, about three catties.”

    “Exhibition plates and dishes, how many catties is the heaviest?

    ” Probably the exhibition plate and the vegetable plate are really heavy, and it weighs more than ten catties at the most.”

    “Adding fish soup is almost 20 catties?”

    “Almost, do you want a case?”

    “How many tables are there for dinner now?”

    “Now

    I’m in my early thirties.” “So, come two servings of your family’s heaviest dishes. The heaviest the better, plus the heaviest plate. Give me two servings for one table. Let them go now. Before the dishes I ordered were all served, I let them serve all the dishes. If the dishes are spilled, it will be counted as mine. There should be at least two cases for men and one case for girls. If there is no work to do, I will wash the dishes. Picking up heavy brushes.”

    “Huh?” The

    waiters were all silly, feeling that their brains were not enough. It was really that Zhao Gongzi paid for the entire consumption? Waiters who have been working for such a long time have seen those who bring girls to eat to cultivate their feelings, and have seen a little brother accompany them in name. I have never heard of bringing a few handsome men and women to the hotel to serve as free waiters.

    “Go, you guys will go with this eldest brother. You must finish it as soon as possible. Finally, you will send me this private room, and you will bring them one by one.”

    “Hey…hey! Okay, then you guys follow me Come on.”

    Not to mention the waiters are dumbfounded, even the four of them are dumbfounded. First, the tuition fees paid by Lu Ze for the four of them are not low. In terms of the price of the recipe, two dishes are five hundred small, and you have to Multiplied by thirty, this is enough for a family of three to eat for half a year.

    The second is that you are reluctant to go. You should know that except for Chen Dongsheng, the other three have good family conditions and have never done this kind of work at all. I think that I will have to carry a few kilograms of things to welcome people with smiles later, or It’s enough to touch the leftovers of those customers, clean the greasy dishes, and think about it. If their parents let them go, they can be replaced by Lu Ze… Well, go ahead.

    As a result, with the exception of Chen Dongsheng, the other three Jinwawas who had never suffered before got up with a bitter face, without saying anything, and walked out with the waiter, rolling their arms and sleeves.

    It’s just that not long after the four children went out, Lu Ze received a phone call from PD, hoping to make Lu Ze give up this teaching method and began to persuade them painstakingly.

    “Teacher Lu, I know that you are professional in acting, but… after all, these children are mostly dressed in clothes to stretch out their hands and open their mouths, and they have not done any physical work. If they fall with oil under their feet, they will be injured. We can’t take the responsibility, and it’s easy to hurt other customers. This is not just a problem of delaying the shooting. If you are not careful, it will cause you a little trouble. Teacher Lu, do you think…or else, let’s forget it?”

    “They are all adults, they will know to pay attention to safety, and I have also warned, nothing will happen.”

    Lu Ze did not seem to be concerned about PD’s worries. The job of a waiter may not be easy. But the procedure is at least simple. From Lu Ze’s point of view, they are all grown-ups, so they won’t even be able to do this job.

    This may be the so-called one-sidedness of thinking. With the passing of time, people always say that the new generation of children cannot be cultivated in the previous way. In the process of replacing the old with the new, the times have begun to change, but for the life of the new generation Lu Ze is not very familiar with the way, or the way of communicating with them.

    Secondly, Lu Ze was not as old as they were, but at the age of seventeen or eighteen, he had already gone to a hotel in Luhua City to work as a banquet waiter to help the family pay off debts. Lu Ze could do it, why can’t these kids do it?

    This kind of excessive care is not good for young people. At least Lu Ze thinks so. Although not going to college is the biggest regret in life for Lu Ze, that period also made Lu Ze’s anti-strike ability remarkable. improve.

    Facing Lu Ze’s disapproval, PD was helpless, and even persuading him to estimate it would have no effect. In fact, he himself felt that it was a trivial matter, and he could also provide good material for the show. The extra worry was just for fear of affecting the show.

    To no avail, I can only hang up the phone and broadcast it to the director Liu Xiang, but what can Liu Xiang do? He didn’t work well in front of Lu Ze! No matter what, he wouldn’t talk to Lu Ze about this trivial matter, refuting Lu Ze’s intentions, and could only respond in a perfunctory manner, telling PD to let the photographer follow along.

    Lu Ze didn’t know the situation downstairs. He was drinking tea in the private room by himself. More than an hour passed immediately after the time passed. During this period, many people in charge asked about the box number and came over to express their gratitude to Lu Ze. Of course, he was unavoidable. Recognizing it, I had to meet the other party’s photo conditions and send the satisfied person away.

    It took another twenty minutes before Peng Kuo took the lead. The four of them were obviously tired, their faces were ruddy, their breathing was heavy, their hair was wet with sweat, their bangs and sideburns were tied, and they were very embarrassed when they were attached to their faces.

    The four of them thought it was just running a dozen or so times, even if the soup is a little heavier, this restaurant is no better than a playground, and it’s not too tiring at such a close distance, but I didn’t expect it, only three or four back and forth, two The girl and the thin Chen Dongsheng couldn’t support it anymore. The tens of kilograms of things were carried by the strength of the arms, and the triceps quickly changed from soreness to soreness. Peng Kuo also failed in the next few times. Come.

    Seeing the other waiters holding the tray with their palms, their triangular arms gave the tray a leverage. The four of them wanted to imitate, but they almost overturned the dishes, so they didn’t dare to use these tricks anymore, they could only look at it with eyesight. With other waiters relaxed and free, come and go like wind.

    Each subsequent delivery of food was a torture to the four people, a pain that would cause cramps when the fingers were exerted, but even so, the kitchen would not wait for them, and all the masters in the huge kitchen were accelerating. Let them have all the dishes for one table, the next table, and even the next two tables.

    “No way… my arm hurts to death…” The

    four of them slumped on the chair, talking frustratingly in their mouths, but Lu Ze didn’t intend to give them a chance to rest, only waiting to completely control the smile at the corners of his mouth. , Clapped his hands.

    “Now, start with Peng Kuo, and do it again.”

    “Teacher, I beg you, five minutes, just take a five-minute break? You really practiced hard for us…”

    “No, just now, you guys I also watched them carefully to see how he changed from the first serving.” The

    four of them can see that, no matter how they begged today, even if they knelt to Lu Ze on their knees, Lu Ze would not let it go. They can only cry with mournful faces, carry the dishes they just brought, go out and re-enter.

    “Hello, Jinshui ferry boat.”

    Peng Kuo gritted his teeth, holding nearly 20 catties of fish soup to the table, shaking his hands even the plates were clanging, put other dishes aside, The fish soup was placed in the center of the table and turned and left.

    After entering the private room again, Lu Ze finally smiled this time and asked the four of them.

    “Is there a change?”

    “It seems a bit…”

    “If you don’t see it, I’ll be the next one, Xiao Chen, make a sample~” In

    this way, the four people took their turn again, which is equivalent to everyone watching three times For these highly talented performers, you can already see the clues three times.

    “Teacher Lu, did we have a change in our manners?”

    Chen Dongsheng said this, but his tone was a little hesitant, as if he had gathered a lot of courage to speak out, Lu Ze raised his eyelids and bowed his head again. I put a hint of white fish in my mouth, without chewing, it melted after a sip, and when I swallowed my belly completely, I opened my mouth and asked.

    “What’s the change in deportment?”

    “It seems…a bit slack. When we serve dishes, we will unconsciously lift our back feet, leaving only the supporting feet to stand on the ground, and our attitude has also changed a little, not as serious as the first time. The main thing is not to wait for the customer to arrange where to put it, push away the other plates, put it anywhere, and leave.”

    “What about the waiter’s psychology? Give me a reason for the waiter to do this.”

    “Tired, there are so many people eating at noon, and I’m upset?”

    “Almost, come on,

    let’s make a toast.” Lu Ze took a sip while raising his teacup. Actually, this is not something that will make people suddenly realize. It’s easy to guess, just two words, tired and annoying, it’s that simple.

    They are not stupid to understand such a simple mentality, but they should seldom pay attention to waiters on weekdays. In school performances on weekdays, they rarely come into contact with waiters who have such a concrete mentality. In addition, they met Lu Ze and did not posture. I consciously picked it up. Only Chen Dongsheng, who runs a breakfast shop at home, can understand it. But… he was learning stage play. Lu Ze emphasized that he was allowed to act the first time, so what he performed was still the stage play. Smell.

    “Before the psychological description of the characters, you need to know the time, location, and characters. The teacher must have taught it, right, time, lunch, location, a middle-level restaurant with a very good business in the city center, characters, and waiters who pass food. , Right? The business is good, and there are many people eating, the waiters will naturally be busy, and they will be tired and annoying when they are busy, and the restaurant is located in the central area, which makes the waiters more confident. First, they are not the boss, how is the business? It has nothing to do with them. Second, as long as the price is right and the taste is good, there is no shortage of people to eat, so that you will not worry about being fired. Under this condition, even after training, it is difficult to get a better attitude. It’s fine if it’s not bad. Next is the plate. You know how unsinkable it is, but the palace dishes need style and there is no way. It means that external forces have made them more annoying and tired. This is a psychological description.”

    Lu Ze Pointing to the huge plate with gold rims, the four of them had a deep understanding, and couldn’t help but nod their heads. They were so tired after more than an hour of work that they couldn’t help but want to curse, not to mention the dozen or so hours of work these days. A waiter who can meet all kinds of customers.

    “So, when you focus on the waiter’s every move, even though the physical movements are truly imitated, as long as there is no feeling of fatigue and boredom, it is unqualified in my eyes. What I want is this kind of emotion, and the taste will be Yes, this is just a waiter in a restaurant. What about the waiter in the fly restaurant? What about the waiter in a star-rated restaurant? In fact, every restaurant’s staff will change their mentality due to changes in time, location, and characters. In other words, if You only act as a waiter. You have dozens of different kinds of performances, hundreds of different kinds of performances, which change according to the changes of the three elements. This requires long-term accumulation of experience and mentality.”

    “Teacher, this is you .” It is written in the book that the mentality of the character will be formed with the formation of the three elements, and will be incomplete with the lack of the three elements. To figure out the role is to figure out that the three elements are derived from the fixed time, place, and inevitable birth. Character, right?”

    “Have you read the book I wrote?”

    Lu Ze felt a little difference, watching Ju Yulin recite the words written by Lu Ze fluently.

    “I’ve read it! I read your book as soon as it hit the shelves!”

    ” I have n’t seen what I asked you for?” In a

    word, the student Xiaoju took a sip of beer in embarrassment.

    “My teaching method may be different from what you learned in school. I take the experiential performance method, and I can only teach you my own summary of the experiential performance method, observation, observation, or observation. Observe the world, observe all walks of life, only when you become them in reality, you will be them on the screen, I recommend that you have time to look at psychology, this is also very important, the changes in various emotions It all makes sense. As long as this person has logic, or has his own unique logic, you can reproduce this person on the screen. Mastering your thoughts is more important than mastering lines and body language. It can also be said that language and body movements are the inevitable products of thought.”

    “In this way, even if you want to play an ancient person or a future person in the future, you can summarize, cut, and splice a lot of thoughts that have been condensed after contact with all kinds of people to simulate and derive a master. No one knows, someone who doesn’t know, or even a person who doesn’t exist at all, and because everyone’s thinking is limited, the character you create belongs only to you, so you can change to any other one. An actor, he can’t act like you, this is how I perform.”

    This lengthy talk was confounded by the four people, all of them contemplating the meaning of Lu Ze’s words secretly, and even planning their future study plans. Lu Ze didn’t have the time to wait for them to realize something. He slapped the table and frightened the four of them. He turned to look at Lu Ze and saw him smiling warmly. He leaned on the chair and embraced his hands, revealing big gold. Watch, opened his mouth and said.

    “This is the first lesson I gave you, and that’s it, class is over!”

    “…”
