Cut-in from the widely known female anchor, Web Traffic touches the economy of the live broadcast and its performance mechanism through a combination of dance theater, multimedia projection and live broadcast.
In Web Traffic, female anchor Liu Xiaoliang and her team struggle in the industry chain of the live broadcast in shuffle period. She and her team seek for rules of the game and search for identity. Web Traffic also reveals that the audience and the actors are wandering between reality and illusion in the process of acquiring a sense of belonging and self-realization in this particular subculture exchange ecology.
In Web Traffic, female anchor Liu Xiaoliang acted by Jiang Fan, sometime plays silly live broadcast through the huge mobile phone screen hanging on the stage, sometimes shows the unknown living state of female anchors through exaggerated dancing, and sometimes tells her thoughts to the audience like a lonely girl. From another perspective, these scenes of virtual or real are art. The audiences would sit on the stage and closely interact with the actors.
