Chapter 349: Returning to School
"Ali, everything is packed, then Xiao Yun and I will leave first. Contact us anytime if you have anything."
A Pan had already moved Ali's things into the villa skillfully.
Shen Jingjing held her daughter's hand and invited them enthusiastically: "Stay for dinner? This trip was also hard for you to take care of Ali. Auntie will make something delicious."
"No need to be polite, Auntie. We are Ali's assistants, taking care of her is what we should do. You haven't seen each other for so long, so we won't disturb you more."
Shen Li didn't force them to stay. After all, they had been in the crew for more than two months, and now that they had finally returned, they must also want to go home as soon as possible.
So she nodded: "I will go to the company tomorrow. At that time, I will mention to the company to let you two have half a month of paid leave. If the company has other work arrangements later, you can go first. As for me, I'll wait until I join the crew next time. You've worked hard during this time."
Xiao Yun and A Pan smiled at each other. It is estimated that they are the only ones in the whole company who can enjoy this kind of paid leave. Following Ali is following the right person.
Near ten o'clock in the evening, Shen Xing came back from school. Before he even entered the door, he started shouting: "Sister! Sister!"
Shen Li was sitting on the sofa teasing the dog. Hearing the sound, she couldn't help but stand up to greet him: "Finished school?"
"You finished filming?"
Seeing his sister, Shen Xing was exceptionally happy. Before he even took off his shoes, he asked a series of questions: "How long can you stay after coming back this time? Are you going to join the crew immediately? Are you going back to school?"
Shen Li had a headache from listening and smiled helplessly: "So many questions, not leaving for now!"
"Really? That's great, our family is finally reunited in Longcheng!"
This sentence happened to fall into Shen Jingjing's ears. She smiled when she heard it. Although it was just a casual sentence from her son, it made a rich sense of happiness well up in her heart.
The next day, Shen Li got up early and packed her things for returning to school.
Not long after she entered school, she joined two crews one after another, and the time she stayed in school was very few. She was the only one among the freshmen.
Shen Jingjing accompanied her daughter to school.
The mother and daughter each pulled a suitcase into the campus. Shen Jingjing was coming to her daughter's school for the first time, and it was her first time stepping into a university campus, so she looked around with curiosity.
This film academy didn't look very novel, but the children walking in the school were really good-looking one by one.
And these students also recognized Shen Li, and their probing eyes fell on her from time to time, and there were even some whispers.
"Freshman Shen Li!"
"I heard that after filming 'Destiny as Phoenix', she immediately joined the second crew as the lead!"
"So envious, the resources are so good!"
"The resources must be good. She signed with Sister Kuan of Jin Xiao Entertainment, the same agent as Ji Chuhe, so the resources definitely won't be a worry!"
"How can the luck be so good? She was spotted by Sister Kuan as soon as she debuted. I heard Sister Kuan is very picky."
"This is not clear, but Shen Li's conditions are indeed quite good. Is that her mother next to her? Also very beautiful..."
Arriving at the dormitory door, Shen Li felt a bit dazed looking at the dormitory door, as if she had returned to the day she reported to school as a freshman.
And before she could push the door, the door was suddenly pulled open from the inside. Wang Chuhan, who was about to go out, didn't expect anyone outside the door, and was startled for a moment. When she saw clearly that the person at the door was Shen Li, the surprised expression instantly magnified on her face!
"Ali! You're back!"
Shen Li looked at her good friend whom she hadn't seen for a long time and nodded with a smile, and then the two hugged each other in unison.
"Missed you so much, finally finished filming. It was very hard this time, right?"
"Actually, it was okay. Why are you the only one? Where are Yuanyuan and Meina? Went to class?"
Wang Chuhan let go of Ali, her expression a bit lonely: "They both succeeded in the auditions and went to film. Now I'm the only one left in the dormitory who hasn't joined a crew."
Shen Li felt very happy for Sun Yuan and Zhao Meina, but also understood Chuhan's mood.
"Don't worry, there will definitely be opportunities in the future."
The current film and television industry is very competitive. Various platforms and companies want to launch hundreds or thousands of dramas a year, which also gives many new actors opportunities.
There are more audition opportunities, so the possibility of being selected will be higher. Perhaps they won't get any important roles at the beginning, but it's better than nothing. After all, not every newcomer is as lucky as her. Most people start by playing bit parts.
Wang Chuhan nodded.
Only then did she find that there was another person standing next to her.
"Ali, this is your mom, right?" She hurriedly greeted politely: "Sorry, Auntie, please come in."
The dormitory was very clean. Although there was only Wang Chuhan, she would still help everyone clean and wipe the tables every day. Ali hadn't lived in the dormitory for a long time, but her desk and bed were still spotless.
"Are you in a hurry to join the crew this time?"
Everyone asked her this question when they saw her. Shen Li shook her head and answered tirelessly: "No such plan for the time being, I want to make up for the professional courses I missed first."
"That's great, I can feel better if you accompany me, otherwise I'll be the only one left in the dormitory."
Shen Jingjing helped her daughter organize the bed and daily necessities and didn't stay long, leaving the dormitory after simple instructions.
As soon as she left, Wang Chuhan couldn't wait to pull Shen Li to sit down: "Your mom is really beautiful."
Shen Li pursed her lips and nodded. It's a pity she didn't look so much like her mother.
"Ali, do you know? Xu Zishan is very popular in school now. After 'Destiny as Phoenix' finished filming, she returned to school. This semester, she auditioned for three crews in a row in school, and she got all three. Among our batch, she is the most popular."
Mentioning Xu Zishan, Shen Li instinctively recalled the incident in the crew. The gap between the two might not have been eliminated, but Xu Zishan said "thank you" to her at that time.
"She is actually quite good at acting." Shen Li said sincerely.
After all, they had cooperated. Although Xu Zishan was a resource-backed person, she did have real skills.
Although Wang Chuhan didn't want to admit it, she had to nod: "Indeed, I went to these crews too and saw the clips of her auditioning. I feel she has improved a lot compared to when she auditioned for 'Destiny as Phoenix'. Sure enough, you have to have filming experience to improve faster."
Speaking of this, Wang Chuhan became anxious again.
She hadn't joined a crew after a year of entering school. Although she wasn't an isolated case, she was the only one in the dormitory without crew experience, which really made her feel discouraged.
Shen Li noticed her low state and hurriedly took her hand: "Do you have class today? I'm going to the company, why don't you come with me?"
Wang Chuhan's expression swept away the gloom and instantly lit up: "Okay!"
Going to an entertainment company, you can definitely see celebrities!
