Chapter 437 Option Rewards

December 26.

Today is the first day after Christmas. Logically speaking, many workers across the United States are still in a state of holiday today.

However, Wald Pictures is different today.

Whether it was the president Bill McNick, the vice president Kevin Fitch, or the executives of various departments of Wald Films, they all canceled their vacations and gathered in the conference room.

"take a vacation?"

Buck Dayon, the executive of the propaganda department, said with a smile: "Mr. Wald has already rewarded the big guys with stock options. At this time, who is in the mood to take a vacation?!"

Option rewards.

Isn't that right, many people give up vacations today and gather together for meetings, isn't it just for option rewards?

Looking at the entire large Hollywood film company, which executives will more or less have option awards, otherwise relying solely on salary, how much money will they earn in that year?

Barry Meyer, the CEO of Warner Bros. Pictures, a subsidiary of Warner, has an annual salary of more than 2 million US dollars, but with the dividends from options, it is different. The annual income is at least 1,000 US dollars. over ten thousand dollars.

An income of over ten million dollars a year, is that much?

Of course a lot!

Many people can't earn tens of millions of dollars even if they work all their lives!

But... look at Michael Eisner, the chairman of Disney and known as the "Disney Tyrant". According to incomplete statistics, excluding his shares in Disney, his income is only his annual salary + options + dividends , as high as 49 million US dollars.

Its income is as high as Hollywood!

"And what about Mr. McNick's income this year?"

Suddenly, an executive from Wald Films spoke.

For a moment, the eyes of everyone in the conference room were all on President Bill McNick.

Old Bill smiled and said nothing.

In fact, in 2000 alone,

Bill Sr.'s income was as high as $8 million.

Annual salary: US$1.5 million;

Dividends: $5 million, mainly for producers of "Spider-Man" and "Harry Potter."

Subsidies: As the president of Wald Films, he received US$500,000 in various living allowances and benefits in 2000.

Bonus: The person in charge of Wald Films has a bonus of no less than seven figures throughout the year.

All added up, it constitutes his annual income of up to 8 million US dollars this year.

What about options?

No!

Because before that, Zhu Ke did not give any Wald Films executives any option awards at all.

"I don't know Mr. Kevin Fitch, how many options can he get this time?" Zack Schneider, the director in charge of the production department, said suddenly.

"I'm curious too."

Propaganda Department Executive Buck Danon said again: "Mr. McNick, as the president, would logically receive the highest option allocation. However, Mr. McNick will retire in a few days, and he will definitely not be able to get options."

After a pause, he continued: "Therefore, there is no doubt that Mr. Kevin Feige has the highest option allocation."

After the words fell, everyone in the audience nodded in unison.

Wald Films was established at the end of 1995. Many of the executives present are people who started their careers with Zhu Ke and are meritorious ministers;

As for Kevin Fitch, as the vice president of Wald Films, he joined the company on January 1, 1997. Although his working hours are not as long as some senior executives, he has a high status!

Not only that, but before Bill Sr. joined the company, he also served as the acting president of Wald Pictures for a period of time.

The position is high and powerful, and it is Kevin Fitch.

Kevin Fitch is only 28 years old now, and in a few days, he will be 29 years old. He is still very young, but looking at the entire Wald Films, no one will despise him because of his youth. After all, his ability and status are It is obvious to all.

"Everyone, the matter has not been decided yet, so don't put a high hat on me too early." Kevin Fitch waved his hand quickly.

Director Zach laughed and said: "Not early! This is definitely a certainty."

"That's right!"

Buck Danon, the executive of the publicity department, echoed: "Mr. Fitch, in my opinion, not only can you get the highest option allocation this time, but after Mr. McNick retires, the position of president of Wald Films will also None other than you."

As soon as the words fell, everyone present echoed.

"That's right."

"Makes sense."

"In my opinion, Mr. Fitch is the best candidate to succeed Mr. McNick."

"Mr. McNick made great contributions to the company during his tenure as the president of Wald Films, and all of this was also assisted by Mr. Fitch. Therefore, Mr. Fitch is the most vacant post of president. Suitable."

 …

You speak, I speak...

Many people were elated, but Old Bill was a little lonely.

"Options don't belong to me, I'm going to retire again~"

In fact, Old Bill actually wants to work for a few more years. Among other things, the option rewards that may be worth tens of millions of dollars are worth fighting for a few more years for everyone.

However, the body does not allow it!

Old Bill is already over 70 years old, definitely an old group of people, not to mention fainting many times during his tenure as the producer of "Spider-Man" and "Harry Potter".

"How can a person who is about to retire get options?" This is a truth that everyone knows.

Of course, Old Bill was not too entangled.

Having been in Hollywood for decades, he has seen many storms and waves, and he has also reached a climax, reading all the flowers in the world, and pointing out the world.

Iron Horse Glacier!

He has no regrets in his life!

He doesn't lack money, but he really doesn't want to leave the film industry that he has struggled for decades, but his body doesn't allow it~

 …

Time passed slowly.

Chuck is here!

Not only Zhu Ke came, but also Victor, the CEO of the head office, and the financial and legal personnel of the head office also attended the scene one after another.

"Everyone, today is definitely a day worth remembering!"

As soon as Zhu Ke sat down, he said straight to the point: "As early as the end of 1995, when I acquired Hugh Jess Films and reorganized it into Walter Films, I once said that as long as you follow me, everyone will work hard together. Then it’s definitely not a dream to shoot high-quality good films, and everyone can live in a luxury house and buy a luxury car.”

"Now......."

"Five years have passed!"

"We've successfully filmed Run Lola Run, Juno, The Purge, The Sixth Sense, 300, Spider-Man, Harry Potter and many more The total box office of the movie has exceeded 3 billion US dollars worldwide."

"I myself, Zhu Ke Wald, have also changed from a nothing kid to a well-known media tycoon and entertainment tycoon in the United States, and a super rich man with a net worth of tens of billions of dollars."

"And what about everyone here?"

“Nowadays, who isn’t an enviable executive in the entertainment industry with an annual salary of more than hundreds of thousands of dollars or millions of dollars?”

"But are these enough?"

Zhu Ke looked around at the crowd and said loudly: "5 years ago, I promised that everyone who followed me would be able to live in a luxury house and buy a luxury car... Now, just today, I will fulfill my promise to everyone. The promise I made, I will give you options and dividends!"

As soon as the voice fell, the whole audience suddenly exploded.

All the people present, except for the old Bill who was about to retire, and the next person counted as one, were all very excited.

They followed Zhu Kegan with determination, why?

Without money, everything is for nothing.

Without money, talent cannot be retained at all!
