The 3D catalogue: film cases on wooden shelves, with the cat sitting at the counter next to its greeting.

The catalogue in 3D

The film shelves have a room of their own that you can walk around in. The cat behind the counter is the AI Catbot, and they pick real films from the same catalogue when you tell them what you feel like watching. Nothing is for sale, here or in there. Go in from here and this series is already out on the counter, with more like it waiting on the shelf next to it.

What happens

Glittering Days (Traditional Chinese: 東方之珠) is a TVB period drama series broadcast in November 2006, starring Roger Kwok, Charmaine Sheh, Liza Wang and Susanna Kwan as the main leads. The series is shown to celebrate TVB's 39th Anniversary. The plot takes place post 1967 to early 1970s. While the story is fictional, the atmosphere replicates the mandopop club scene in Hong Kong. The series played a number of mandopop songs that originated from Taiwan. As much of the Hong Kong club scenes were heavily dominated by mandopop music, many of the sets and TV charity shows were televised at the time, and recreated for the series.
