There are different opinions on the Internet, and many netizens have raised objections to the release schedule of "Zombie Family".

However, everyone's doubts were relatively mild at first, but after the promotional video was released, there were suddenly more negative comments online.

Many netizens began to strongly criticize the movie under the relevant information, and even Miracle Pictures and Song Qi were scolded.

"Are you sick? Why do you want to show a horror movie when this is a good children's movie?"

"What do you mean by making a little zombie? Do you want to curse my child to become a zombie?"

"Zombies are originally monsters in horror movies. Even if they are made cute, they will still scare children. Why not release them in the mid-year movie? Do they have to be released in the children's movie to join in the fun? Miracle Pictures is so lacking in us.

These precious parents’ money?”

"I hate zombies. In zombie movies, the dead are most important. These movies turn the dead into the living dead. Have you ever thought about the feelings of the families of the deceased?"

"I quite like director Wang Xingren's works. I've watched "Zombie Taoist" three times, but it's unnecessary to put zombie movies in children's movies, right? It's not good to scare children."

"What does Song Qi want to do? Want to poison our younger generation of children?"

"I suggest you postpone the release so that it doesn't upset everyone in the children's section, okay?"

…

As netizens' rhetoric became more and more intense, the official account of Miracle Films quickly came forward to respond.

The official account stated: The reason why "Zombie Family" is scheduled for Children's Day is entirely due to the style of the movie itself.

"Zombie Family" is not a horror movie in the traditional sense. Its script was written by Song Qi. Song Qi incorporated a large number of comedy, family, friendship and other elements into the story, and the horror elements became supporting roles.

This movie is mainly to show the friendship between family members and relatives, and is not a movie shot to scare people.

Moreover, "Zombie Family" has received a protective rating and complies with national review standards, and will not have a negative impact on young audiences.

At the same time, in order to avoid unexpected situations, Miracle Films also recommends that viewers choose to watch the film at their own discretion. If you are worried that children at home are not suitable for watching this movie, you can choose other movies to watch.

After this response was posted, the number of negative comments online suddenly decreased a lot, but there were still many objections.

"What do you mean it's not a horror movie in the traditional sense? Isn't that still a horror movie?"

"Why isn't it postponed? Why does it have to be released in a children's movie? What's the motivation?"

"Watching another movie will solve the problem? I would like to ask you if there will be posters of this movie in the cinema? Are you responsible for scaring my children?"

"Can you please just make it easier? Instead of letting you show it, why don't you just go to the mid-year movie to show it? Why do you have to join in the excitement of the children's movie?"

"It's true that you can scold me as much as you want, but I won't change it! Is your appearance so ugly?"

…

After seeing these weird and negative comments, Wang Xingren's fans could no longer bear it and started to refute.

"Who stipulates that horror movies must be released on a fixed schedule? When did children's movies become a timetable that is subject to competition?"

"The level has been determined. Protection level. Do you understand what protection level means? It means that children over six years old can watch it when accompanied by their parents. This is the national standard. Don't you understand?"

"Why do you want to postpone it at just one word? Is your cinema open? The trailer has been released. It is obviously a light comedy! Who said that zombies cannot be a comedy? Who said that a movie with zombies must be a horror movie?

Movie?”

"Afraid of being scared by posters? It's ridiculous to me! There are chickens and fish being slaughtered in the wet market! Do you want to take care of it? I suggest you put the child in a safe and lock it so that he won't get hurt."

…

These fierce rebuttals immediately aroused strong counterattacks, and many netizens criticized them.

Seeing that the public outcry was getting louder and louder, Song Qi finally showed up.

He posted an update through his personal social account to express his stance on the matter.

"I decided to schedule "Zombie Family" and I also wrote this story. I didn't expect it would arouse such a strong response from everyone, and I deeply apologize for that.

But I don’t think this is a horror movie, and when I wrote this story, I didn’t follow the logic of a horror story.

On the contrary, I think this is a very warm and heartwarming story. Its core is the concept of family, family affection and friendship.

The logic of this story is very simple and direct. To put it simply, this is the story of a little tadpole looking for its mother.

The lost little zombie is the little tadpole. It accidentally broke into the modern city and was later found by its parents. It's that simple.

I saw some netizens questioning that zombies, as an element of horror movies, should not appear in children's movies. I don't agree with this statement.

Because some netizens said that zombies are actually dead people. They look like monsters, but in fact they were once living beings.

I remember someone said that every ghost in the world is a relative that others want to see day and night.

I would like to ask, if your relatives really turned into ghosts or monsters and came back to see you, would you still be so scared?

The reason why I asked Wang Xingren to make such a movie and deliberately chose to release it in a children's schedule is not because of greed, as some netizens said. I wanted to use this movie to teach children to face their fears and face their fears.

All fear is the weakness of the heart. If a person's heart is strong enough, then even when real danger comes, he will face the danger without hesitation and without fear.

If you want to cultivate this kind of strong heart, you need to correctly understand your inner fears.

Everyone has something they are afraid of. If you turn around and run away because of fear, or cover your head and turn a blind eye, then the fear will remain rooted in your heart and gradually develop into a nightmare that will linger throughout your life.

The only way to defeat them is to face it, face it, and defeat it with love, kindness, and faith. At that time, you will find that fear is far more vulnerable than you thought.

Face fear, face fear, and defeat fear. This is something that will benefit you a lifetime, and it is also something that I think should be taught to children from an early age.

This is a spirit, a spirit that is not afraid of difficulties and has the courage to overcome difficulties, which will make children stronger.

Inner strength is the real strength. A person whose heart is full of fear, even if he is an adult in age, is still a giant baby mentally.

Of course, everyone has their own choice, and I have no intention of imposing my ideas on anyone.

I just think that sometimes we are too cautious in protecting our children, which will cause them to lose many opportunities for growth.

"Zombie" is just a movie. It doesn't matter whether you watch it or not. This is everyone's choice. I just had some associations with it and wanted to share it with you.

No matter what, I hope all children can become truly strong people.
Chapter completed!
