emacsclient's "--script" option alternatives

Question

To run an elisp file hello.el with emacs in cli, do simply

$ emacs --script hello.el

However, a naive try for emacsclient fails, as --script is not an option of emacsclient.

$ emacsclient --script
emacsclient: unrecognized option '--script'
Try 'emacsclient --help' for more information

Question: What is a good practice to evaluate an elisp file by a running emacsclient?

It worked.. sorry for the stupid question. Is it worth an answer? — Student, Apr 22, 2020 at 18:10
It is not a stupid question. It can help some. Helping is never stupid. — gigiair, Apr 22, 2020 at 18:21
Please don't use tag elisp for questions about using Elisp. It's for questions about the nature of the language itself, compared to other languages, especially other Lisp dialects. Thx. — Drew, Apr 22, 2020 at 18:43
