In early July, the United States Film Production Department finally ushered in the first film project of Herak. At the request of Herak, the production department established a team.

"Guess Who Comes to Have Dinner" has temporarily invested $3 million in production costs after budgeting in the Finance Department. If the cost is not enough, a $1 million or $2 million will be invested in the future. The production cost given by Herak is not allowed to exceed $5 million, so he is kept within $4 million.

Not long after, the production department found a suitable director in Hollywood to direct the script, and asked producer Stanley Kremer to send the list to Herac.

Looking at the middle-aged man who was sending the director list, the other party's half-white hair made him look very old, but Herac was a little stunned, and then took the director list and checked it as if nothing had happened.

"Guess Who Comes to Have Dinner" is a racial intermarriage script. The director candidate must choose a director who has filmed this type of film and needs to control the meaning of the script.

However, there are not many people who can shoot this type of director and sign it and control his strength.

Therefore, there are only four directors sent to Herac, namely, Ilia Kazan, Joseph L. Mankevich, and ComoBelicai.

When he saw the last director Stanley Kremer's name, Herac paused, subconsciously looked at Stanley Kremer who was waiting for his reply at his desk, and said with some uncertainty: "This list is your name."

Stanley Kremer nodded. "Yes, this is my name."

Herac couldn't help but feel a little surprised when he heard the other party admitting. Stanley Kremer was one of the four lists. He hadn't gone to find him yet, but he didn't expect the other party to recommend himself.

In the original time and space, the original director of "Guess Who Comes to Have Dinner" is the Stanley Kremer in front of him. He is the first choice for the director who has directed a racial film.

Herac knew that he was the best director of "Guess Who Comes to Have Dinner", not to mention that the other party was the producer in the United States' film production department.

However, Herac did not immediately decide to direct it by Stanley Kremer. The reason why people from the production department asked the director to find a director was to see if they could find a more suitable director besides Stanley Kremer.

The four directors, except for ComoBellikay, who is a new director, Ilya Kazan and Joseph L. Mankevich were both successful directors from the 1940s to the 1960s.

The production cost of "Guess Who Comes to Have Dinner" is controlled below $5 million, and Herak will not invest more dollars. If he finds one of Ilya Kazan and Joseph L. Mankevich, the first thing he needs to consider is the director's pay.

The two of them have information about their first directorial films, all of which are more than $1 million, which makes him a little cautious. After all, within $5 million, Herac also counts the promotional cost of $1 million in the budget of "Guess Who Comes to Have Dinner".

Stanley Kremer looked at Herac's meditative and hesitant eyes, and felt a little nervous. He had read the script "Guess Who Comes to Have Dinner" and made him very interested in directing it.

He knew that he had been directing films about race, which was a small achievement, but he had not produced any works in the past two years. Even if he was a producer or a fourth-tier producer, his directorial career was not received by anyone to direct him, so he was about to come to an end, which made him very anxious.

When he saw the script, Stanley Clay became interested and relied on his own to recommend a seat to the director's list because he was also a producer in the United States' film production department.

Seeing that Herak was still pondering, Stanley Clay put the storyboard in his hand directly in front of him, interrupting Herak's thoughts. "This is the storyboard that I have half made for "Guess Who Comes to Have Dinner."

Herak picked up the storyboard in surprise. Unexpectedly, Stanley Clay was prepared so well. Even half of the storyboard was drawn. The storyboard was clearly drawn on how the shot and angle were controlled, and the characters' dialogues were clearly stated. I couldn't help but appreciate it. "Mr. Stanley Clay, your storyboard is doing well."

As a producer in his previous life, Herac naturally saw the storyboards that these directors needed to do, and knew a lot, not to mention that he had an internship at Warner Studios in this life. He could tell whether the storyboards were good or bad at just one glance.

Stanley Clay smiled, without saying anything, looking at Herac with anticipation. "My director's pay is only $300,000, I just hope that the company can consider letting me direct "Guess Who Comes to Have Dinner". The director's pay of $300,000."

Herac was stunned for a moment and couldn't help but feel a little moved.

Comparing the pay of the first two directors, Stanley Clay's offer was very reasonable for his value as a director, which made Herac not consider the new director Como Bailika and said directly: "Congratulations on passing, Mr. Stanley Clay, "Guess Who Comes to Have Dinner" will be directed by you. I will ask Kim Jan-fu to send it to you the day after tomorrow."

Stanley Clay said excitedly, "Chairman, thank you for your trust. I will direct the script of this film."

Herak nodded, circled Stanley Clay's list, and handed back the storyboard and the list of directors in his hands to Stanley Clay. "Take these lists back to the production department, and you are also a director, as a co-producer, your name will also appear on the producer's column, so I don't plan to revoke you as a co-producer of Guess Who Comes to Have Dinner."

Stanley Clay quickly turned around and went to the production department to work on his business.

Leaving the matter to Stanley Clay, Herac was temporarily distracted from the matter of "Guess Who Comes to Have Dinner" and also received news from Bruce Geller's progress on Mission Impossible.

The director of the American drama "Mission: Impossible" is directed by Brian de Palma and Bruce Gay.

Brian de Palma, who had just directed the first movie "Wedding Banquet", was selected by Herac. The main reason was not only that he was a new director and had a low pay, but also the director of the first movie "Mission: Impossible" in his previous life, and he was interested in his suspense shooting technique.

There is no need to say much about Bruce Geller. He is very familiar with the script of "Mission Impossible". He will naturally not refuse if he wants to co-direct it. After all, the director of the American drama "Mission Impossible" in his previous life was himself as the screenwriter.

As an American drama, "Mission: Impossible" will be filmed in seasons, and Robert Dali also began to find distribution channels for "Mission: Impossible" and starring actors and others.
