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

Singing with Legends (Chinese: 我们的歌), alternately known as Our Song, is a variety show that pairs rising stars with role-model singers who compete to find the best pair over 12 episodes. It first premiered in China on October 27, 2019 through a parallel release on SMG Entertainment's Dragon TV and its respective Youtube channel. The original concept of the show was inspired by the collaboration between Fei Yu-ching and Jay Chou on the song 千里之外 (Far Away). Its main goal is to serve as a bridge for different generations in the music industry and revive classic songs that may have been overlooked by current audiences. This first season was dedicated to Fei Yu-ching as the last variety show he participated on before his retirement. The "Y" logo shows up often in the stage design and is thematically important to the show. It represents the convergence of generations to promote the exchange of ideas. The stage design is a "Y" shape, there are "Y" buttons to create pairs, and "Y" attachments to the singers' microphones. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
