The endorsement deal was off the table; the people from Nokia had quickly taken their leave.
"The slot for smartphone endorsements is now open, and I've prepared several new candidates," Thomas had long known that Martin would only endorse Nokia for two years. He took out a few documents and handed them to Martin, "Would you like to take a look first?"
Martin took them and saw that commercial endorsements now accounted for more than a third of his annual Hollywood income.
In the past year alone, Martin held five major commercial endorsements.
The Coca-Cola endorsement had risen to 15 million US dollars a year, with Cadillac, Cartier men's watches, and Nokia phones each at 12 million US dollars, and Brioni at 6 million US dollars.
Not counting the dividend earnings from the Cola Cult commemorative Coke, his annual pre-tax income from endorsements alone reached a whopping 57 million US dollars.
Now the phone deal was up for grabs.
