On June 26, 2023, Xiao Jingteng proposed to Lin Youhui the day before her 50th birthday, and her friends Jay Chou and Kun Ling were present

Lin Youhui once said that he had no expectations for marriage,

I don't want to "delay Lao Xiao".

But "give her a home before her 50th birthday",

It is Xiao Jingteng's wish that has been pressed in his heart for many years.

"After I got married, I felt very complete and down-to-earth.

It's the life I've been looking forward to for a long time. ”

Lin Youhui told one: "The biggest reason why I don't disclose it to him is Yu Gong, I am his agent, Yu Private, there is a gap between my age and him, and I don't want him to bear these unnecessary public opinions." He's a guy with a lot of shoulders, and my courage may not be as good as his. ”

After the album was released,

One chatted with Xiao Jingteng and Lin Youhui

This new album,

This proposal,

The story of 16 years with them.

After 16 years in the industry, I used to produce albums by myself, but this time I made a decision: find an experienced producer to be in charge of the production, so that I can focus more on interpreting from the perspective of a singer. Together, we went to find and express my current musical works.

It was also the first album I recorded after I got married. A little over a year ago, also in the winter, we went to Norway and a team of almost 70 people was very focused on it. Leave the familiar city and life behind, and achieve a focused state of mind.

The first impression of 50-year-old Lin Youhui this year is that he is capable. She often wears no makeup, likes to wear a wide T-shirt, and her hair is always tied on it

Ocean Sound studio in Giske, Norway

It was also my first album since I got married, and I went to Norway with Summer and the team.

This studio is called Ocean Sound, "Sounds from the Ocean", and it's right on the edge of the sea, a small cabin, and it's really the sea outside, like the end of the world, it's very dreamy. The small wooden roof is covered with a lot of plants, and you can see that these grasses have a strong vitality and are very wild. Our album is called "Wild", and a lot of inspiration comes from that.

When I recorded "White Night", I kept restraining myself in the recording studio, because the lyrics written by Mr. Li Zhuoxiong were very touching. I remember swallowing all the time, swallowing frantically, suppressing myself in all sorts of ways, and I was actually very excited, and Summer came to comfort me.

Talking about the work-life balance between the two, Summer said: "I am very rational at work, we have been working and living at the same time for more than ten years, and the public and private have always been very clear. When discussing work with him, I will use the role of an agent to communicate with him, and I will return to life after the discussion. We didn't really have an argument, he stumbled in his speech, and all the time, when he didn't know what to say, he would send me a text message, and soon we would communicate, and encourage him to say that he was tired, and he would be very happy. ”

It's been a very, very happy few days in Norway. You can have a good time walking down the street and saying your bad English, and I'm nobody over there.

We had the biggest blue moon in 16 years, the most violent time in the cosmic magnetic field, and everyone went to bask in the moon that night. We also saw the Northern Lights, which appeared for two days in a row.

On the last day it rained, and the sun came out again. This rain is also very consistent with our MV, the sun and the rain form a rainbow, that rainbow is super big, everything is so good, God is really good to you.

I didn't sleep all night the night before I proposed, thinking about a lot of things.

We've talked about marriage before, and I've always wanted people to know about our relationship. But Summer is from the perspective of the head of the company and the agent, thinking about my career, she doesn't want to delay me, she also wants me to see the world and meet more people, you see how good she is (laughs), she doesn't want to lock me up, she is afraid that I am impulsive.

I didn't tell her about the proposal on June 26th, I was very determined to do it, I couldn't wait any longer, the 27th was her 50th birthday, and I gave myself the goal that we would confirm the relationship and get married before she was 50 years old, and we finally registered in October, which was something I had been looking forward to for a long time.

Summer and one look back on the day of the proposal: "A lot of people don't believe I don't know (he proposed) because I'm as smart as I am. Lao Xiao has been mentioning this matter to me for the past few years, but I have refused. I was a bit of a deliberate avoidance of a big birthday like 50, and I was really scared to come home. He said that my eyes were drifting all the time when he proposed, first of all I was nervous, and I drank some wine, and secondly, I was thinking all over my head, it's over, it's such a big deal, how am I going to face the media tomorrow? This is the basic reaction of the agent. Later, 24 hours passed, and there was still no news coming out, and the friends in the house were very secretive, and he really couldn't stand it, so he explained that it was joy, why couldn't he share it with everyone? He asked his colleague to take me away, so I was not allowed to look at my phone, so I posted it myself. He said it was the boldest thing he had ever done in his life. ”

I won't talk about repression first, because repression has come over anyway, and it may have become a habit.

Getting married and going public makes me feel grounded, happy, and makes me feel like I'm being reborn. My life starts anew from this moment on, and there is no longer any distance between me and my listeners and fans. The fans sent us their blessings, it was really a hard-won thing, and everything was the life I had been looking forward to for a long time.

Age has never been an issue for me and we have a lot of fun together. She is actually very naïve, very cute, like a child at home, but as a boss, she can be very mature and very serious, and she has a very charismatic personality.

In fact, the two of us are very similar, when to do something, without any age and cognitive problems. I only have to blame her for why she was born so early? And she will say that you are waiting for me too long?

Summer: "When I first met him, he was 19 years old, 10 kilograms thinner than he is now, very thin and white little boy, he couldn't speak a few words, but his eyes were clean, and we talked all afternoon. I knew that there were a lot of great agents in contact with him at that time, and I was just a new agent, and I didn't think I had much of a chance.

Later, he came to me first, hoping that I could help him. He was really popular at the time, very exaggerated, all kinds of jobs were found, and he was just a variety show kicker, not even a singer, a person without works, what do you want him to do? So I stopped all his work and concentrated on preparing the first album, so that he appeared in front of everyone with a righteous and bright character. ”

Magazine shoot tidbits

I will always remember the first time I met Summer, when I was 19 years old, it was just the two of us, and I didn't say a word. I was really not very expressive at the time, and for a while we relied on text messages to communicate, and she used to say that my text messages had no punctuation and a bunch of typos (laughs).

At that time, there was no so-called love and affection, but I believe that it was love at first sight. At that time, we had a lot of heart-to-heart things, which was communicating with consciousness, you know? It was like an insect, or a wave, an intuition, and this frequency was very precious. We often describe us as being divided into two halves, and we need each other a lot to be separated, and we always have been.

It's an exaggeration, and we can even predict the future state of mind of the other person. Always when she's about to break down, the second I'll say to her, 'What's wrong with you?' When I don't know how to fix things, she tells me the best way to go. We are a community of life.

Summer: "He used to say that you used to take care of me, and when I got old, I took care of you. It's very romantic, but both of us have a very clear understanding: take care of your body and don't be a burden to each other. ”

Our lives are extremely simple. When we're not working, we listen to music, jazz, eat food, play sports together, and have plans to study lately. I would go home with her, go to my parents-in-law's house for dinner, she would accompany me home, eat with my parents, it was all a fixed itinerary.

I used to hate vacations and fly because I was very busy with work, but now I tell her that we can go wherever I want, and now I am very willing to go to all corners of the world. We live life happily with each other.
