The series "Celebrating More Than Years" has continued to attract attention since its premiere. According to the producer's recent disclosure, the third season of the show has entered the preparatory stage for filming, and the production is expected to be completed within the year. The first two seasons have accumulated a large number of core audiences with their compact plot lines and adaptations that conform to the spirit of the original book.
The third season will continue the main line of power struggle, and the growth trajectory of the main character Fan Xian is still the core narrative thread. The crew revealed that this season will focus on presenting key plots such as "Hanging Temple Assassination" and "Jiangnan Rebellion" in the original book, and some unresolved character relationships will also be gradually unfolded. At the production level, the art team continued the exquisite costume design of the first two seasons, and at the same time upgraded the technology of some scenes.
In terms of casting, Zhang Ruoyun, Li Qin and other main actors confirmed their return. It is worth noting that some characters with fewer roles in the previous game are expected to have more room for expression. The screenwriting team said that on the basis of retaining the essence of the original book, the script of the new season has made targeted adjustments to the narrative rhythm to adapt to the viewing habits of TV drama audiences.
該劇的市場關注度持續走高，根據視頻平臺數據顯示，前兩季累計播放量已突破85億次。第三方調研機構報告指出，該系列在25-35歲觀眾群中滲透率達61%，形成穩定的觀劇黏性。隨著第三季製作推進，相關話題在社交平臺日均討論量增長23%。
At present, the crew has completed the preliminary location survey work, and the main shooting is planned to be carried out in Hengdian Film and Television City and Xiangshan Film and Television Base. According to the production cycle of the film and television industry, if it goes well, the show is expected to be broadcast next year.
The dynastic system built by "Celebrating More Than Years" is not a simple overhead background. The civil and military checks and balances of the Qingguo court, the special functions of the Supervision Yuan, and the subtle confrontation between the Northern Qi and the Southern Qing form a network structure of interlocking in the details. When Fan Xian stepped into this world with modern memories, the value collision of the two civilizations gradually appeared in the specific affairs of customs clearance documents and treasury financial rights, giving the fictional time and space a touchable texture.
Fan Xian's growth trajectory jumped out of the traditional Shuangwen upgrade mode. The confrontation with Zhu Ge in front of the Supervision Yuan did not show the sharpness of a young man's ambition, but the first confrontation between modern rule of law thinking and feudal power. The punishment of the housekeeper in the old mansion in Lanzhou not only contains anger at bullying the weak, but also conceals survival considerations based on the new environment. This way of dealing with the world, which is a mixture of idealism and reality, keeps the characters in a dynamic process of self-correction.
The portrayal of the group portraits of the characters in the play breaks through the black-and-white faces. Chen Pingping's sick body in a wheelchair carries an emotional debt that spans decades, and the dual identity of the director of the Supervision Yuan and the avenger of the night forms a subtle tension in him. Under Emperor Qing's seemingly controlling imperial mentality, there is a faint fear and yearning for Ye Qingmei's scientific and technological strength. These contradictory qualities make the characters like a prism, reflecting different human spectrums as the plot progresses.
When Fan Xian was intercepted and killed on Niulan Street, he did not choose to be happy and revenge, but calmly analyzed the demands of all parties, which appropriately showed the collision of modern thinking and traditional rules. In the thrilling struggle of power and conspiracy, the audience sees not only the wit of the court game, but also the real human choice in a specific historical context.
At the end of "Celebrating More Than Years 2", Fan Xian used drugs to restore his true qi and laid an important foreshadowing for the follow-up plot. In the third season, the Jiangnan Ming family, as an important force in Nanqing's economic system, will become a key problem that Fan Xian needs to solve. From the perspective of the existing plot development, the game between the two sides will present the following three levels of confrontation:
First, the wrestling at the basic level of the economy
Although Fan Xian has regained control of the three major fangs, the Ming family still controls the Cao Yun network and trade channels in the Jiangnan region. The third season may revolve around the right to circulate commodities and the allocation of artisan resources. Fan Xian needed to use the internal treasury financial system to impose an economic blockade on the Ming family, and at the same time weaken its market control by supporting the emerging chambers of commerce.
2. Hedging of power networks
The Ming family has been operating Jiangnan for decades and has formed a complete protection system covering local officials and garrison generals. Fan Xian needs to adopt a divisive strategy, obtain evidence of key officials' violations through the intelligence system of the Supervision Yuan, and dismantle the political alliance of the Ming family. It is worth noting that the Ming family may have a secret connection with the royal family, which will be an important turning point in the plot.
3. Balance in social governance
In the process of attacking the Ming family, Fan Xian needs to take into account the stability of the Jiangnan region. Overly radical reforms could trigger economic turmoil and affect Qingguo's strategic layout of the Northern Qi Dynasty. The plot may show that it transitions part of the Ming family's industries to the local gentry in Jiangnan through the exchange of interests, weakening the opponent while maintaining the normal operation of the regional economy.
From the narrative logic, it is speculated that the final defeat of the Ming family's mother and son may stem from the rupture of the internal power structure. Fan Xian may take advantage of the differences in the ideas of the third generation of the Ming family's heirs to cause a split in his family's decision-making. This approach is not only in line with the character's usual strategy of fighting wits, but also avoids large-scale armed conflict from destroying the economic lifeline of Qingguo.
It is worth noting that the power relationship between Fan Xian and Emperor Qing may have undergone subtle changes in the process. The result of the disposal of Jiangnan affairs may become an important bargaining chip in the subsequent imperial power game. How to maintain a dynamic balance with the imperial power while completing the purge task will be a potential test for Fan Xian.
In the autumn of the twenty-third year of Qingguo, the maple leaves of Dadong Mountain have not yet been dyed red, and the three-way rebels have quietly completed the siege of the palace. This power reckoning, which had been brewing for several years, finally opened the curtain under the fingertips of Emperor Qing's caressing Yutu. The sword box of the Sigu Sword fell to ashes at the post station, the scriptures of the bitter lotus were scattered on the Northern Qi Post Road, and Ye Liuyun's lonely boat was moored at the dock of Shanzhou—the four strongest great masters in the world were all gathering towards Dadong Mountain along the trajectory preset by the emperor at this moment.
In the secret passage under the palace, Emperor Qing was replacing the third pair of iron armor. This emperor, who is famous for his civil rule, is now debugging the six-stone strong bow with a clanging sound. The dark piles laid out twenty years ago have sent back secret reports one after another: the Northern Qi cavalry is thirty miles away from Dongshan, the sword formation of Dongyi City has broken through two levels, and the Ye family sailor is on standby at sea. The emperor's eyes reflected candles, connecting the marching routes of various forces into blood-colored cobwebs on the sand table.
In the morning mist on the mountainside, the sword qi of the Sigu Sword flattened half of the bamboo forest. The Dongyi City Lord sat on the ground surrounded by three hundred sword boys, with an unsheathed lone sword on his lap. Twenty zhang away, the robe of the bitter lotus was already stained with dew, and the rosary in the hand of the Northern Qi national teacher was rotating according to the rhythm of the "Tianyi Heart Sutra". When Ye Liuyun's ladder boat broke through the mist at the foot of the mountain, the three grandmaster qi had already stirred up a buzz in the mountain.
Fan Xian's carriage galloped on the official road, and the blood-colored Lingqi outside the window kept flashing. More than half of the six dead soldiers in the Supervision Yuan were damaged, and the black horseman's armor was covered with arrow marks. The map in Wang Qinian's sleeve was soaked with sweat, and the short blades of the begonias flipped out cold light on his fingertips. When the golden dome of the palace appeared in the skyline, Fan Xian took out the vaguely handwritten secret letter in his arms—three pages of paper, which recorded the fatal flaws in the great grandmaster's martial arts.
The roar of the opening of the stone door of the underground palace startled the crows. Emperor Qing's iron boots smashed the green bricks, and the black cloth of Wuzhu covered half of his face. When the four Grandmaster Qi finally collided on the top of the mountain, the birds of the entire Dadong Mountain fell to the ground stiffly. When Fan Xian's dagger stabbed into the throat of the seventh assassin, he saw a wave of air erupting from the top of the mountain tearing open the gap in the clouds. This Grandmaster Battle, which lasted for seven hours, finally came to an end in Ye Liuyun's broken rudder, bitter lotus's broken prayer beads, and the broken blade of the Sigu Sword.
The rebels in Kyoto were storming the Xuanwu Gate, but Fan Xian's clothes were suddenly puffed up by the mountain wind. Emperor Qing's dark dragon robe appeared on the edge of the cliff, and what he held in his hand was not the heirloom jade seal, but a half-blooded arrow. While the surviving grandmasters were heading east and west with the broken martial arts foundations, the agents of the Supervision Yuan were already counting the 462 corpses on the mountain path. Fan Xian looked at the remarked division of forces on the map of Nanqing, and finally understood the game of chess that his father left in the cellar of the inspection institute.
At present, Zhang Ruoyun, Chen Daoming, Wu Gang, Guo Qilin and other main actors have confirmed that they will continue to participate in the third season. Among them, Fan Xian played by Zhang Ruoyun is the core character of the story, which runs through the plot; Emperor Qing played by Chen Daoming and Chen Pingping played by Wu Gang, the complex relationship between the two characters in the power struggle is still an important highlight; Fan Sizhe played by Guo Qilin continues the comedy elements of the play. The return of these actors maintains the coherence of the main characters and helps the plot move smoothly.
Xiao Zhan, the actor of Yan Bingyun, who has attracted much attention before, may return to the third season according to relevant sources. The character's turning point at the end of the second season makes him a key figure in driving the main storyline forward. If Xiao Zhan is confirmed to star, Yan Bingyun's change in position in the power structure may become an important narrative thread in the new season.
Judging from the available information, on the basis of retaining the core team in the third season, there is still a lot of room for development in the fate of the main characters. The producer has not yet announced plans for new actors to join, nor has it revealed whether any major actors have quit the crew due to schedule issues. Follow-up news is still subject to official announcements.
The cast of the two important characters in the show may change. Wang Qinian's actor Tian Yu was rumored to be absent from the follow-up filming, and the character continued to contribute many highlight moments in the second season with his witty line style and keen insight. The contrast between his iconic market wisdom and loyalty makes him a functional character that drives the story.
Li Qin, who plays Lin Wan'er, also reported that he will no longer participate in the show. As the wife of the protagonist Fan Xian, the character assumes the dual role of emotional bond and power plot branch in the original book. The second season reinforces the gentle and tenacious characteristics of the characters through the reproduction of classic scenes such as "Chicken Leg Girl". If the actors are replaced, the producer may adjust the proportion of emotional scenes, or re-establish the emotional connection between the characters and the audience.
At present, the producer has not made an official response to the rumors of the change of actors. If the news is true, the crew needs to find a balance between retaining the character's traits and the actor's personal style. The presentation of key plots such as Wang Qinian's tracking and investigation and Lin Waner's family clues in the original book will become an important observation point for the adaptation of the third season. The audience expects the series to bring more breakthrough narrative expression on the basis of continuing the style of the previous work.
Under the trend of industrialization and transformation of the film and television industry, the third season of the "Celebrating More Than Years" series announced the adjustment plan of the production process. According to the production team, this season will be fully industrialized production mode, which is expected to significantly shorten the production cycle. The plan was designed to address the long production cycle of the previous game, which was five years between the premiere and the sequel
The industrial production system will improve production efficiency from multiple dimensions: modular prefabrication technology is used in scene construction to shorten the physical set time; The VFX department introduced a real-time rendering system to improve post-production efficiency. Implement a standardized process for actor schedule management to avoid delays due to personnel coordination. In terms of quality control, through the standardization of the process to standardize the connection of each link, the establishment of quality evaluation nodes to ensure the stable output of production quality.
According to the producers, the industrialization reform does not mean that the artistic requirements will be lowered. On the contrary, the professional technical team will rely on the creative redundancy time obtained from process optimization to invest more energy in key links such as historical scene restoration and martial arts action design. According to the available information, the script of the third season has passed three rounds of script demonstration meetings, the core creative team has maintained the previous team, and the main actors have basically completed the contract renewal.
Industry observers pointed out that the production plan not only responds to the audience's expectations for the efficiency of sequels, but also conforms to the current trend of the film and television production industry's transformation to industrialization. The actual effect needs to be verified after the broadcast of the finished film, but the implementation of process management at least provides a replicable template for the continuous development of the series.
According to relevant news, the producers of "Celebrating More Than Years 2026" plan to arrange the show to be broadcast in the summer of 0. As a traditional popular time period in the domestic TV drama market, the broadcast schedule of the summer file will help to continue the influence of the series. The audience base accumulated since the first two seasons has made the plot development and character fate of the sequel the focus of heated discussions.
The audience's anticipation for the third season is mainly focused on the continuation of the main characters' storyline. After experiencing the life and death test of the first two seasons, how the actor Fan Xian copes with the more complex court situation is an important highlight of his growth trajectory. In the original novel, Fan Xian's process from passively getting involved in disputes to actively controlling his fate can be reasonably presented in the film and television adaptation has become the focus of the audience's narrative.
The ultimate fate of Chen Pingping's character has sparked a lot of discussion. As the president of the Supervision Yuan, he has endured years of planning and protection of Fan Xian, and has always touched people's hearts in the advancement of the plot. How the third season will end the storyline of this very tragic character is not only a reflection of the difficulty of adaptation, but also the key to testing the screenwriter's skills.
Emperor Qing's conspiracy layout, as the core contradiction throughout the play, may usher in the final showdown moment in the third season. The conflict between the emperor's mental tricks and family ethics in the original work, how to balance the dramatic tension and logical self-consistency in the film and television adaptation, not only tests the performance level of the actors, but also requires the production team to make precise arrangements in rhythm control.
As an important support for the worldview of Qing Yu Nian, the supporting role group is also worthy of attention. Yan Bingyun's change of stance after his lurking in the Northern Qi Dynasty, Fan Ruoruo's medical growth line, and the unique humorous elements of characters such as Wang Qinian are all important fulcrums to maintain the enjoyment of the series. How the producer handles the distribution of group scenes directly affects the balance of the drama structure.
The first two seasons of the show have established high standards in terms of service design and scene restoration. Whether the third season can maintain a stable level of visual presentation and bring freshness by breaking through the previous game mode will become an important factor affecting the audience's word-of-mouth. The choreography of action scenes and the use of special effects, especially the film and television presentation of the grand master-level duel scenes, are all technical challenges.
The continuous attention aroused by the series reflects the audience's market demand for high-quality costume dramas. In the boom of IP adaptation, "Celebrating More Than Years" has formed a unique narrative style through reasonable story adaptation and accurate interpretation of actors. The creation of the third season not only needs to respect the original story framework, but also make necessary adjustments in the transformation of film and television language, which puts forward higher requirements for the professional ability of the production team.
The third part of "Celebrating More Than Years" is confirmed to meet the audience in the summer of 2019. Since its premiere in 0, the show has shown the power game and the fate of the characters in the background of alternate history through two seasons of content. This sequel will continue the narrative line of the previous two seasons and complete the end of the entire series.
According to the producer's public information, the third plot will revolve around the final revelation of the mystery of Fan Xian's life experience. The development of Emperor Qing's role as the core of power is expected to present a more complex political layout. Chen Pingping, Wang Qinian and other main supporting characters in the previous work will still participate in the main line advancement, and some new characters may play a role in the key plot.
The play is adapted from online literary works, and the first two seasons have gained certain market recognition in terms of character creation and narrative rhythm. The production cycle of the third part lasted for three years, and the crew continued to use the original design team in terms of scene construction and costume props. The screenwriting team said that the final season will focus on dealing with the closure of multiple story lines, including the final direction of Fan Xian's personal growth trajectory and the conflict between the Qingguo court.
According to public information, the "Celebrating More Than Years" series has made moderate adjustments to the original plot in the process of film and television. During the filming of the third part, it was postponed due to the polishing of the script, and the main creative staff revealed that some important scenes had been repeatedly revised. At present, post-production has entered the final stage, and the specific broadcast date will be officially announced in the first half of 2026.
