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

Nirvana in Fire 2 (Chinese: 琅琊榜之风起长林) is a 2017 Chinese television series starring Huang Xiaoming, Liu Haoran, Tong Liya and Zhang Huiwen. It is the sequel to Nirvana in Fire, which is based on Hai Yan's novel with the same name. The stories take place after the events of the original series, which revolves around the Langya Hall. The series aired on Dragon TV and Beijing TV from December 18, 2017 to February 12, 2018. Although the series has earned a Douban score of 8.5 from more than 144,766 user reviews, Nirvana in Fire 2 did not achieve the same success in ratings compared to the first season. Some cited the show's slow start and detached nature from first season's plot/characters as reasons for its lower popularity. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
