There was no 30th of the first month in 2024. The first month of the year 2024 was the month of the moon. There were only 29 days, not 30. The months in the lunar calendar were determined according to the changes in the moon's waxing and waning. Every complete cycle was called a " lunar month." Since the relative motion between the moon, the earth, and the sun was a natural rhythm, the time of the new moon could fall at any time of the day, so the length of each " lunar month " was different. In the 2024 lunar calendar, there were only 29 days in the first month, not 30. Therefore, there was no New Year's Eve in 2024.
"Celebrating Years" was adapted from Maoni's fictional novel of the same name. The novel was first published on Qidian Chinese Network in 2007 and was considered a big IP with both literary and entertainment value. It was only 12 years after the novel was published that it was adapted into a live-action film and television work, which showed how difficult it was to adapt. Although the screenwriter Wang Juan was not a drama major, he showed his talent in screenwriting. He was good at constructing a plot twist, able to achieve the unexpected and within reason. Before Director Sun Hao joined the project, Wang Juan had already written 15 episodes. Both of them were fans of " Celebrating Years." They inspired each other and solved problems together. During the adaptation process, the original time-travel theme was subtly rewritten into a novel created by a literature major, solving the problem of the background of the characters. The whole story was cut in from the perspective of the mysterious teenager Fan Xian. Fan Xian, who had a modern concept, encountered the ancient jianghu, which brought with it a lot of jokes. Wang Juan hoped to convey the spirit of the original work through adaptation, presenting the silent resistance of modern people against society and the story of them standing up. The adaptation of " Celebrating Years " received widespread recognition and praise, and Wang Juan won several awards for his adaptation of the drama.
