The assistant broadcaster Long Guo next to her also stared at the mobile phone screen, and occasionally handed Tang Meiling small notes answering netizens' questions.
They are all staff at high-speed toll stations. Some are ordinary toll collectors and toll monitors, and some are station management staff and inspectors. They can "transform" into live broadcast personnel of the new media team. In more than half a year, this small live broadcast team composed of 6 people has achieved good results, and can be called the "Heavenly Team" of Hunan Expressway Group Company's toll station live broadcast. How did they do it, and how did they discover the traffic password. Today, the reporter will take you closer to this six-member live broadcast group.
It was the first time to try a live broadcast. Two female toll collectors held up their mobile phones and broadcast for two hours. After the end, "everyone was numb"

They wear toll station uniforms, no different from the toll collection staff we usually see.
As the "west gate" to northwestern Hunan, the Changsha West Toll Station of the Changyi Expressway is currently the toll station with the largest traffic volume in Hunan Province, with an average daily traffic volume of 58,000 vehicles, and the historical peak traffic volume in a single day. It has exceeded 100,000 units and can be called the "traffic king".
"In addition to heavy traffic flow, what other hard-core measures can we take for brand building?" Hu Ke has been thinking. In 2024, Hunan Changyi Expressway Co., Ltd. was included as a participating unit in the "new" action of Hunan Expressway Group's brand building, and Changsha West Toll Station was selected as the main site for brand building. During the exploration and practice of participating in the group's live broadcast, everyone discovered a new breakthrough, which is to feature "immersive live broadcast in a toll booth" and use public attention as a self-driving force to improve service quality and promote brand building to stand out.
So, before the Spring Festival this year, they tried their first live broadcast. Toll collectors Zhang Juan and Huang Juan became the first batch of people to "eat crabs". "I still remember it was from 9 a.m. to 11 a.m. on February 9. That night was New Year's Eve. During the day, many people were rushing home, and there was a lot of traffic." Zhang Juan said that they were using their own Live broadcast on mobile phone, borrowed a selfie stick, and broadcast live on the Douyin account of "Changsha West Toll Station".
Zhang Juan said that the two of them took turns holding up their mobile phones to shoot inside the station, filming the traffic flow at the entrance of the toll station, and answering questions from netizens in the comment area. "Although I didn't show my face for the first time, I had to speak and answer questions from netizens and introduce the traffic situation at that time. I was very nervous." The weather was very cold and windy that day, and the selfie stick couldn't hold up the phone, so they had to use They were holding mobile phones in their hands, and for the convenience of operation, the two of them were not allowed to wear gloves. After the two-hour live broadcast, Zhang Juan said she was numb. On the day of
, the maximum number of people online in the live broadcast room was 20,000. Although the data was encouraging, the first live broadcast still left a bad impression on Zhang Juan, and she was even a little aggrieved. "We really don't have much experience, and it's our first time trying it. There are many areas for improvement." Zhang Juan said that the more people in the live broadcast room at that time, the more nervous they became. For non-professional anchors, their Mandarin is not up to par, and they don’t have the professional speaking skills. Some netizens directly said in the comment area, “Do you know how to do it?” Xin's comments made them both feel aggrieved and sad.
The surprise of the first success, 2.08 million traffic, the small booth was crowded with
. But these comments also made them more clearly aware of their problems and shortcomings, summed up experience, reviewed... found problems and proposed solutions way. In addition to some sharp accusations, they also gained something."Indeed, many people will ask in the live broadcast room which expressway is not blocked, whether it is possible to travel now, whether it is free during holidays and the free time, etc., and even netizens from other provinces also come to pay attention and ask questions." Faced with netizens They sincerely ask questions, and they work hard to answer them. When they encounter problems that are not related to their toll booths, they will try their best to seek help from professionals and give answers.
Hu Ke felt that short videos and live broadcasts had great potential, so they launched an "audition" on the entire site. 113 people on the site could voluntarily sign up. After many trials, 6 people were finally selected as the main members of the live broadcast team. Tang Meiling, Zhang Juan, Yao Xueqian, and Yang Jun are the anchors, Long Guo is the brand communicator, and Luo Jin is responsible for filming, editing and production and other post-production work. After
tried live broadcasting for a few more times, they gradually found some methods and approaches. If your Mandarin is not standard, then correct and practice it word by word; if your expressions and gestures are stiff, then practice it over and over in front of the mirror; go to other live broadcast rooms to watch other people's live broadcasts, especially live broadcasts and short videos on highways in other cities across the country Watch videos to learn and learn from them; start collecting the most frequently asked questions from netizens and sort out the answers. The content and methods of
live broadcasts are also constantly being tried and changed, such as shooting at the entrance lane, immersive card issuance live broadcasts in the booths, volunteer activity live broadcasts, etc., and short videos that answer questions and promote high-speed travel content are also shot daily.
As a result, the 6-person team grew rapidly through constant attempts and polishing. On May 30, June 4 and June 7, they conducted three consecutive live broadcasts before the Dragon Boat Festival in the "Fu Dao Xiaoxiang" Douyin live broadcast room. The first two were trial broadcasts due to insufficient time. On June 7 It was the "first show" in the true sense. They achieved 641,000 views in that live broadcast, which was a "big victory" in the first battle.
Before the live broadcast, the entire staff of the site was preparing for the live broadcast. Tang Meiling was the anchor of the first show.

They all relied on their eyes, gestures and small notes to communicate, for fear of any unexpected situation. , need to be solved at any time.
