"So, what exactly is going on with this street?"
Movies have their own rhythm, with periods of tension and relaxation, designed to prevent the audience from becoming too tense and to give them a sense of breathing room.
After the main characters quickly appeared, engaged in a series of actions including chases and fights, and saw three cannon fodder characters die in succession, the terror and tension of the street had been heightened to the extreme. It was time for the audience to "relax."
In commercial films, classic scenes that allow the audience to relax are either when the main characters talk about love (including family, friendship, and romance), when the main characters calm down and have a rational conversation, or when the main characters and a character with a past reminisce about the past with a sigh.
The "pine" in "Happiness Street" is of course the second type.
The main characters were panicked, unaware of the terrible predicament they had fallen into. Just then, Xiao Ye remembered the rules she had just read on the bulletin board and naturally mentioned them to everyone. So, everyone gathered in front of the bulletin board and began to read the rules.
Xiao Ye read aloud: "'Happiness Street Rules', Hello, welcome to Happiness Street. Happiness is the only rule of our street. Your happiness is the best pass and the only rule of this street."
Huang Feizhang's lips twitched, and he cursed, "This street is quite polite."
Sister Hong continued, "Please read and remember the following rules before entering the street:"
Huang Feizhang interrupted, "Expressing unpleasant emotions such as pain, sadness, and anger is strictly prohibited on this street. If you violate this rule, you will be provided with 'emotional correction services'—Damn it! Whether I'm angry or not is none of your business on this godforsaken street!"
No sooner had he finished speaking than a gigantic, overwhelming doll-like arm suddenly stretched out and grabbed Huang Feizhang!
The doll's arms were furry and brightly colored, with adorable paw pads. It took up half the screen, appearing incredibly realistic on the high-definition screen of the cinema.
The little boy next to Lao Liu, who was known for his quick wit, exclaimed "Wow!"
The other three members of the main group turned pale, all thinking Huang Feizhang was going to be finished. Unexpectedly, the giant doll-like arm only restrained Huang Feizhang; then, another mechanical arm reached out and pulled down Huang Feizhang's pants!
To the astonishment of the main characters, "slap," "slap," "slap," the mechanical arm actually started slapping Huang Feizhang's buttocks!
Realizing what had happened, Xiao Ye screamed and quickly covered her eyes. Hong Jie also gave a very offensive look, turned her head away, and mouthed a curse.
Only the fat man stared blankly up at the sky, and after a while, he actually showed an envious expression.
A burst of laughter erupted in the theater. The men in the audience laughed even more knowingly. While the risqué jokes were a bit cliché, they were timeless. The film's current plot, in particular, was a risqué joke that transcended language and cultural barriers.
Huang Feizhang wanted to curse again, but a brightly colored ball had already stuffed into his mouth, and he could only make muffled sounds.
Amidst the sounds of spanking and Huang Feizhang's whimpering, Xiao Ye and the others continued their discussion of the rules of the pedestrian street.
"Those two who broke the rules just now were blown to bits," Xiao Ye pondered. "Why is Huang Feizhang unharmed?"
Hongjie replied, "He's... fine, he just got... you know, he got hit and... you know... all bruised and battered, didn't he?"
“I mean, he didn’t…” Xiao Ye didn’t dare to say the word “death.” “Maybe some rules are more serious, and violating them will result in something like Lu Renjia’s death, while other rules are less serious, and violating them will only result in a minor punishment.”
The fat man's upper face was crestfallen, while his lower face was smiling: "Why didn't we see this sign when we entered the street? There were seven of us who came in with me, and we were all completely clueless. Now I'm the only one left."
“You came in from the other side of the street, but this sign is still here. There’s nothing we can do about it,” Xiao Ye comforted her. “It’s not your fault.”
"Stop with the nonsense!" Sister Hong continued reading, "Every shop on the street can help you experience happiness. Please consume one 'happiness experience' within the specified time, such as getting a haircut, reading a book, or eating dessert..."
The fat man exclaimed in panic, "A haircut definitely isn't a real haircut! Who knew it would—"
"The street broadcast will regularly play 'Sounds of Happiness,' each song sung with heartfelt emotion by residents of Happiness Street. Please give them your enthusiastic feedback!" Sister Hong ignored him and continued reading, "What the heck? What is this all about?"
"There are no homeless people in this street. If any homeless people spend the night on the street, this street will arrange a job for them on Happiness Street to help them regain a happy life."
"There are no underground shopping malls on this street. If you see an underground shopping mall, please leave immediately."
"Toy stores are safe."
"Happiness cannot be interrupted arbitrarily. If you leave Happiness Street on your own initiative, it will be considered as voluntarily interrupting your happiness."
The group exchanged glances, already seeing the consequences of their interrupted happiness.
"…………"
"…………"
"Happiness Commercial Street is open all day from Monday to Friday, and 8:00 to 21:00 on public holidays."
The more they read, the quieter their voices grew, and the more eerie it seemed. The background music also became urgent and tense. For a moment, only the sound of Huang Feizhang being spanked could be heard.
