In the makeup trailer, Martin finished getting his makeup done and put on a plain T-shirt, then he had the makeup artist leave.
Thomas closed the trailer door, came back, and sat down, saying, "I've made initial contact with Coca-Cola. Due to the Burbank Middle School incident and the Cola Cult, they have a strong willingness to collaborate. They've invited you to become Coca-Cola's North American spokesperson for a three-year term."
Martin wasn't opposed to the idea, firmly believing that earning money wasn't shameful. He asked directly, "What are the specific terms?"
Thomas replied, "Participate in at least five events per year, shoot two commercials, with a total compensation of 12 million US dollars over three years." He added, "I will try to negotiate up to 15 million US dollars for three years. Your rise is rapid, and they can see that."
"You handle the negotiations," Martin instructed explicitly. "Keep it quiet until the official announcement, no public disclosure."
