Chapter 188: Daladbangba, A Meme Song to Stir Things Up
Everyone could not help but feel curious about what kind of performance Bai Ling would bring this time.
Bai Ling chuckled and said, "Since the show is about the magic of sound, as a singer, I naturally have to sing a song."
The others couldn't help teasing, "Look, who said our Bai Ling was running out of talent? Didn't she just fail to come up with any show ideas?"
"If it's just singing, how boring would that be?"
"Bai Ling, why don't you play an instrument like the rest of us? I remember you used bowls and chopsticks for a live performance on the show *Come to My House for New Year*."
"How about we go with that?"
The audience in the seats all's eyes lit up.
That sounds good.
It seems a bit interesting.
However, Bai Ling shook her head and said, "No need, I'll just sing."
"I've brought a new song."
Everyone had originally intended to persuade her otherwise.
After all, the singers among them had their reasons for not choosing vocal performances.
After all, this was a variety show, not a concert, and its main focus was entertainment rather than showcasing oneself.
If Bai Ling stubbornly insisted on singing, people might mistake her for being lazy.
However, upon hearing that Bai Ling had actually brought a new song, their expressions all changed.
"A new song?"
"If I remember correctly, hasn't Bai Ling been busy filming recently? How did she even find the time to write a new song?"
"Holy crap, this speed is insane! How many songs have you written in just this past month?"
"Such a humbling speed. I suddenly feel like my identity as a singer is a bit unqualified."
Bai Ling laughed helplessly, "Don't sell yourselves short. The song I wrote this time is just for fun and laughs, not some serious work."
"Not a serious work? I don't believe it!"
"Nowadays, people say that whatever Bai Ling produces must be a masterpiece. Am I right, everyone?"
The audience in the seats also chimed in at this moment, "Right!"
That neat and uniform shout made even Bai Ling feel a bit helpless.
"Come on, I'm really just messing around this time."
Before they knew it, the others had cleared the stage.
At this moment, the host walked up and said, "Alright, let's welcome our Bai Ling as she brings us an original song performed by herself! *Daladadongba*!"
Upon hearing the title, everyone froze.
What-da-what-ba?
What on earth is this?
Why doesn't it make any sense?
The people on stage were all the same.
Meanwhile, the music had already begun to play on site.
Bai Ling had long since handed over the accompaniment and everything else to the show's music director.
Now, as the music started, amidst crisp percussion, Bai Ling's voice also emerged.
Set against operatic vocalization, a terrifying chant began to rise.
Everyone immediately cast looks of admiration.
Bai Ling's vocal stability was as strong as ever; this chant, this operatic singing style, was simply terrifying.
However, just when they thought this song would yet again be a showcase of Bai Ling's technical prowess, her voice suddenly shifted from a neutral tone to the tender voice of a little girl.
"A long, long time ago, a dragon suddenly appeared."
"It brought disaster, took the princess away, and vanished!"
"The kingdom is in grave danger, who in the world is the bravest?"
"A brave hero hurried over and shouted loudly."
At this moment, everyone realized something was wrong.
This style didn't seem to be merely about showing off vocal skills.
And what was up with this rap-leaning singing style?
Bai Ling had never shown any capability in this area before.
In the very next second, Bai Ling's voice shifted again, as if seamlessly connecting with the previous lyrics, transforming into the brave hero himself.
"I will take the sharpest sword and climb the highest mountain."
"I'll break into the deepest forest and bring the princess back before your eyes."
After four lines of lyrics, the voice returned to the little girl narrating.
"The king was overjoyed and hurriedly asked his name."
"The young man thought for a moment and said,"
"Your Majesty, my name is Daladadongba-bandebeidibu-duobiluweng!"
As soon as this name came out, everyone struggled to hold back their laughter. What kind of ghost name was that? It was such a tongue-twister.
Bai Ling changed her tone again and sang.
"Say it again!"
And then, in a very short span of time, she switched back to the brave young hero.
"Daladadongba-bandebeidibu-duobiluweng!"
Then the king:
"Is it"
"Daladadongba-bandebeidibu-duobiluweng!"
Then the young man again, "Yes, yes! Daladadongba-bandebeidibu-duobiluweng!"
In this short amount of time, Bai Ling changed her voice five times in one breath. Although there was only one person, it gave the vivid impression of a stage play unfolding right before their eyes.
What a display of the magic of sound!
In an instant, all the audience members at the scene couldn't help but applaud.
Even Shen Wenjun and the others could no longer restrain themselves.
"Holy crap!"
"This is the new song Bai Ling brought."
"Oh my god, she must have written this specifically for this show."
"Who's to say she didn't?"
"Outrageous, truly outrageous!"
Yet, they had still thought about it too simply.
How could this possibly be considered a true joke or prank in the real sense?
After a fierce piece of narration.
Narrator:
"Hero Daladadongba, ride the fastest horse."
"Set off from the castle carrying everyone's hopes."
"Defeat the attacking monster and earn twelve gold coins."
"Countless scars witness his gradual leveling up."
Little girl:
"A remote and beautiful village, open all treasure chests."
"Wind and frost all the way accompany the holy moonlight guiding the path ahead."
"Break into a cave, the princess and the terrifying dragon."
After that, Bai Ling introduced a brand-new character: the terrifyingly hoarse voice of the dragon.
"I am Quntuku-takatiekaotesuwa-xilasong!"
Brave young hero: "Say it again!"
Dragon: "Quntuku-takatiekaotesuwa-xilasong!"
Brave young hero: "Is it Guandong cards, violins, baked egg tarts, soda, and marathons!"
Dragon: "Wrong, it is Quntuku-takatiekaotesuwa-xilasong~~~~~"
The operatic vocals reached their absolute peak at this moment, and the audience seemed to hear the long roars and wails of the dragon.
The accompaniment also incorporated sound effects of clashing swords and blades.
By this time, everyone at the scene had completely lost control.
This song was simply too bewitching!
Only now did they realize what Bai Ling truly meant by "the magic of sound" and "making fun."
Although the performances of the others certainly met the production team's requirements, Bai Ling's song was the only one that truly and perfectly combined the magic of sound with the song itself in the truest sense.
Is this even a song?
It's entirely a fairy tale about a brave hero fighting a dragon to rescue a princess.
And throughout this process, Bai Ling perfectly used a single person's performance to portray everyone's voices.
Even with just one person, she could flawlessly present both stage and dramatic effects.
How could this ever be considered as simple as writing a casual funny song?
The skill and foundation required for this are unimaginable.
And just when they thought the climax of the song was over, in reality, the section to come was the most crucial part of all.
