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

Keep Running (Chinese: 奔跑吧; pinyin: Bēnpǎo Ba), previously known as Running Man China, or Hurry Up, Brother (Chinese: 奔跑吧兄弟; pinyin: Bēnpǎo Ba Xiōngdì) before 2017, is a Chinese variety show broadcast on ZMG: Zhejiang Television. It is a spin-off from the popular original South Korean variety show Running Man by SBS. It was first aired on 10 October 2014. The show is classified as a game-variety show, where the MCs and guests complete missions at a landmark to win a race. The program has itself also been spun-off into a supplemental show, named Here Comes the Man (Chinese: 跑男来了; pinyin: Pǎonán Láile). It is hosted by Shen Tao (Chinese: 沈涛; pinyin: Shěn Tāo), Luo Xi (Chinese: 罗希; pinyin: Luó Xī), and/or "Jenny" Lin Jieni (Chinese: 林杰妮; pinyin: Lín Jiénī). The show typically centers around secondary footage of Keep Running episodes, behind-the-scenes clips, or even the conclusion or final outcomes of a Keep Running episode that is too long to fit into the original broadcast time slot.
