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.
How it feels
A TV series set in the Hong Kong entertainment industry, it follows aspiring performers as they navigate fame and mimicry. The show uses parody to poke fun at real-life celebrities, with actors delivering exaggerated impressions that become a highlight.

What happens
《娛樂插班生》（英語：From Act to Act）是香港電視廣播有限公司拍攝製作的時裝劇集，全劇共20集，監製梅小青。 本劇首播時平均收視為28點。 《娛樂插班生》包含港式幽默，揭露香港娛樂圈人生百態，開創了影射明星藝人的先河。張學友、梅艷芳、羅文、徐小鳳等天皇巨星，全都被TVB一眾演技精湛的藝員惟妙惟肖的模仿出來，成為一時佳話。此劇於1995年播出時大受歡迎，創下收視佳績。此劇雲集眾多好戲之人如林家棟、廖偉雄、梁小冰、梅小惠、黎耀祥、江欣燕、阮兆祥和麥長青等，令觀眾目不暇給。最深入民心的當然要數扮演張學友唱《遙遠的她》的林家棟，他擠眉弄眼地模仿張學友的種種神態及小動作均讓人忍俊不禁，教觀眾驚喜萬分，連張學友本人亦覺得他實在扮得太像自己。此劇可算是林家棟「扮嘢」的代表作，他在TVB熬了多年，擔演過無數劇集的大配角；終憑此劇一炮而紅、躋身男主角行列，其後更拍下多套經典作品如《大鬧廣昌隆》、《茶是故鄉濃》和《酒是故鄉醇》等。 (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
