Chapter 394 Beware of Excessive Joy and Sorrow
Hearing Shen Ci ask this, Luo Tianrui couldn't help but pursed his lips and smiled.
Senior Piao Piao happened to be walking by, and Luo Tianrui stopped her and said, "She asked why the eight of us named our studio 'Huluwa'. Explain to her."
Upon hearing this, Senior Sister Pei Pei rolled her eyes and looked at Chen Ci with dissatisfaction, saying, "The seven gourd brothers are so united. They say I'm a snake spirit and you're the grandfather!"
Chen Ci: “…”
How could this have anything to do with her?
"It's actually a joke. Anyone who has seen the Calabash Brothers knows there are eight Calabash Brothers in total. The last one is called Little King Kong, and he is a symbol of unity."
Luo Tianrui explained with a smile. He was smiling particularly happily today. It seemed that setting up a studio was of great significance to their entire team. It proved that their small team had gone from a makeshift team to the right track.
Shen Ci was naturally happy for them. Although her appearance completely changed the trajectory of the team, she believed that the future of her senior brothers and sisters would get better and better.
She took out the red envelope she had prepared in advance from her bag and said, "Good luck to the establishment of the studio. This is a good omen. I can't refuse it."
As soon as Shen Ci made a move, Luo Tianrui knew that this red envelope was not small: "You are always like this. You also gave us a little more financing last month. We are really embarrassed about this."
"If you feel embarrassed, you should work hard on the project. As long as the project is successful, I will naturally be rewarded." Shen Ci smiled disapprovingly.
After spending so much time together, Luo Tianrui also understood Chen Ci's character to some extent. Money is just a number to her, so don't argue with her about money.
Taking the red envelope from Shen Ci, Luo Tianrui nodded and promised: “We will definitely work hard!”
"Oh, and my mom's housekeeping app..."
Before Shen Ci could finish her reminder, Luo Tianrui interrupted and said, "Don't worry, this matter has been handed over to Youcai and the others. The design of this kind of APP is relatively simple. The main thing is to be comprehensive in terms of functions and keep the interface simple. Youcai will keep in touch with Auntie and will definitely meet all her requirements."
Shen Ci nodded in relief after hearing this.

Near noon, Chen Li returned to school. As soon as she entered the dormitory, she found Wang Chuhan lying on the table crying.
"Chu Han?"
Chen Li was startled. She quickly closed the door and walked forward, holding Wang Chuhan's slightly trembling shoulders and asking with concern: "Chuhan, what happened? What happened?"
Wang Chuhan raised his head and looked at Chen Li, his eyes were red and swollen from crying, like two big walnuts.
She sobbed and choked, "Ali, I didn't get the role of Yu Meng..."
After saying that, she burst into tears again out of grievance.
Chen Li looked at Wang Chuhan and wiped her tears with a tissue distressedly: "If you didn't get it, then you didn't get it. We can just try harder next time. You did great this time. At least you made it to the finals!"
"Stop crying, your eyes are swollen."
But the more she wiped Wang Chuhan's tears, the more she couldn't stop: "Ali, am I really useless? You've helped me so much, but I can't do it. I'm not cut out to be an actor."
"Nonsense." Chen Li said in a deep voice, "Don't think like that. Have you forgotten what I told you then? You're not the only one who wasn't chosen. If everyone thinks like you, then there's no need to audition anymore in the future."
"Also, it's not like you'll definitely be chosen just because you act well. The crew's selection criteria aren't solely based on acting skills. You can't spend all day doubting yourself just because you weren't chosen. This will only make you less and less confident."
"But I've been rejected several times. This is the one I'm most looking forward to and most confident in." Wang Chuhan cried, "I hope I won't still not get a role by my sophomore year..."
"Do your best and leave the rest to fate. As long as you've given it your all, at least don't let yourself have any regrets. Have you forgotten how you felt after you walked off the stage that day? You said you'd never felt so good performing before during your audition. That was worth it!"
Wang Chuhan pursed her lips and nodded. When she received the news that morning, she was alone in the dormitory. All the grievances and unwillingness came to her mind at once. There was no one to comfort her and talk to, so she could only cry alone.
Now that I've cried, I've let out most of my negative emotions and I don't feel as bad anymore.
Seeing that she had stopped crying, Shen Li couldn't help but sigh slightly: "You haven't eaten anything yet?"
Wang Chuhan nodded aggrievedly.
"Then wait for me in the dormitory. I'll go to the cafeteria and buy you something to eat. You'd better not go out and see people with those big walnut eyes of yours."
After saying that, he collected the trash in the dormitory trash can and went out. Before leaving, he did not forget to remind Wang Chuhan: "Don't cry anymore!"
Wang Chuhan forced an ugly smile and nodded.
As a result, as soon as Chen Li arrived at the cafeteria, she happened to meet the girl who got the role of "Yu Meng".
His name is Qin Ke.
Qin Ke was still with a few classmates. Her state was completely different from Wang Chuhan who was crying in the dormitory. She was smiling and full of energy.
However, it was natural to be happy about getting a good role. Chen Li didn't take it to heart. She just wanted to quickly get to the Malatang window to queue up, which was Chu Han's favorite food.
As a result, the other party also saw Chen Li and took the initiative to call her: "Chen Li!"
Chen Li turned around upon hearing this and saw Qin Ke walking towards her with a smug smile. "Didn't you ask me last time about the progress of the role of 'Yu Meng'? I just received the news this morning that I have been chosen for this role."
She did not hide her smug look at all, and even the other girls beside her showed proud expressions as if they were looking forward to the show.
Chen Li nodded gently: "I already know, congratulations, you acted very well indeed."
"Whether I acted well or not is not your place to judge." Qin Ke curled his lips and sneered, his eyes suddenly turning contemptuous: "Let me advise you, don't think that you are a senior just because you acted in two plays. Your experience may be enough for yourself, but isn't it a bit presumptuous to use it to guide others?"
Someone echoed, "Exactly. After all this time of guidance, he still wasn't selected?"
Qin Ke has always been upset about Chen Li coaching Wang Chuhan. In her eyes, if Chen Li hadn't been meddling, Wang Chuhan would have had no competitiveness for this role and would have been chosen on the spot.
It was Chen Li’s fault that she had to wait so long!
The other party's tone was obviously unfriendly, and the expression on Chen Li's face also faded. "It's not your turn to say what I want to do, but if we really want to argue, based on the time I entered the industry, I am your predecessor."
"And let me kindly remind you that a casting announcement is just the beginning, not the end. You're probably familiar with how many actors have been replaced at short notice. Be careful not to get carried away, as excessive happiness can lead to tragedy!"
