James Wan, a director who has been overlooked despite his talent, has a strong ability to appreciate scripts. Before becoming a director, he watched more than 3,000 films a year.

Every script that Shen Fang gave him was a masterpiece.

"I'll give you $20 million to finish the three movies: The Human Extermination Plan, Paranormal Activity, and Split. As for the rest, I'll get Jack Chen to play the lead role in the Fast & Furious series and the Karate Kid series."

Upon hearing this, James Wan jumped up, startling Ivanka and Zhukova.

At this moment, Wen Ziren couldn't care less about anything else and excitedly looked at Chen Fang: "The boss really is Jack Chen!!!"

Shen Fang smiled, not thinking much of James Wan's loss of composure. Jackie Chan's Peak Time was currently a huge hit, and he was a top-tier actor in North America. Most importantly, Jackie Chan was a representative figure of kung fu films with a huge influence all over the world. Furthermore, James Wan was Chinese, so Jackie Chan's status was that high, a super idol.

“Brother Cheng Long is a good friend of mine. These two films were tailor-made for him. Lao Wen, I admire you very much, so I will fully support you in directing these works, and I will also give you the final editing rights. Don’t let me down.”

James Wan was moved to tears. "I, James Wan, have wandered for half my life, and finally I've met a wise ruler... I can't wait..."

“Ivanka, sign a 10-year contract with James Wan, with the salary based on Dragonair’s base salary plus commission.”

Ivanka nodded. As the producer of Saw, she was very familiar with James Wan's abilities. Although he was new to the film industry, the executives at Universal had high praise for him, and getting him on board was a very good choice.

Next, James Wan and Shen Fang discussed the scripts.

James Wan's most interesting next script, which he is preparing to film, is about the human purge. The reason for choosing this script is not only because it is good and the subject matter is novel, but more importantly, because the human purge was actually proposed by the ruling party, and it was proposed a long time ago.

The Purge presents a shocking and disturbing picture of evil: citizens of the United States can freely use firearms and indiscriminately slaughter anyone around them without any legal repercussions.

However, what this film actually depicts is precisely the law believed in by American society: the rich benefit, and the poor are killed. This is the real-life version of the "human purge" implemented by the United States.

So, what exactly is the human purge plan of Country M?

The Human Purge: Starting with a Mysterious Document. About 50 years ago, President Nixon of the United States came to power. At that time, the United States was beset by internal and external troubles: the Soviet Union's military strength was constantly increasing, and various Soviet cruisers were patrolling the Pacific Ocean; the domestic population continued to grow, the gap between the rich and the poor was widening, and many poor people starved to death on the streets and were destitute.

During this rather "difficult" period, various unorthodox activities, such as the Beatles movement, emerged one after another. People indulged in the decadent life of the "virtual" world in order to escape the unpleasantness of reality.

Faced with these problems, in 1974, a classified document was presented to the highest levels of the M country's government—those who had access to this secret document were all exceptional individuals, numbering no more than a handful.

The title of this secret document was officially revealed in 1989: "On the Paradox of World Population Growth and Human Civilization".

(John D. Rockefeller III)

This secret document did not come from a think tank in the United States, nor from the brilliant ideas of government officials in the United States, but from the oil tycoon John D. Rockefeller III.

Merchants have always pursued profit, and it is clear that Rockefeller III believed that the rapid growth of the world's population would have an irreversible negative impact on human civilization and further affect the economy of the United States.

After Rockefeller III put forward this view, then US President Nixon and then US Secretary of State Kissinger joined forces to polish the relevant contents of the classified documents, which eventually formed a complete "World Population Growth is Harmful Theory".

This lengthy document, totaling nearly 300,000 words, covers 26 major areas including military, politics, education, economy, and agriculture, and provides a detailed and insightful discussion of the profound impact that global population growth will have on these areas.

Finally, the speaker shifted gears, concluding with the harm that global population growth was causing to the M country's economy, stating that "the world's population is growing uncontrollably, and correspondingly, Eastern countries such as the Soviet Union have not realized this. M country's farms are already nearing saturation... farms in Europe can only support one continent... this means that the continuously growing population will consume resources that should belong to the citizens of M country."

From these words, we can roughly see that the United States' concerns about global population growth mainly focus on resource consumption, and it points the finger at countries such as the Soviet Union.

(Kissinger)

However, to assume that the United States is about to take action against the Soviets would be to underestimate the resolve of the American people—Kissinger concluded his article with these words:

“We are well aware of the situation facing the United States… but we should not rely on others. Unless it is absolutely necessary, we Americans should set an example—reducing the population is imperative for the United States.”

This statement sounds grand and noble, but its actual content is appalling: Country M is going to eliminate the poor and backward population worldwide, and if necessary, the lower classes of Country M will also be targeted for cleansing.
