Stars will sign contracts with brokerage companies when they debut, on the one hand, because brokerage companies can protect them from the pressure of record companies or performances, on the other hand, because general brokerage companies will find suitable performance opportunities for their stars and find relatively stable record companies. On the one hand, the brokerage company will package the stars.
Moreover, the protection of a brokerage company is usually not forced or threatened by performance venues, record companies, studios, etc. And the performance price is unfair. When encountering legal problems, brokerage companies usually come forward to deal with them. Moreover, when the brokerage company cooperates with record companies, performance venues and studios, it will try its best to ensure the authenticity of the works and ensure that its stars are not deceived.
It is suggested to sign a brokerage company when you are just starting out, because most of the stars who are just starting out don't know much about people in this circle, so there are fewer performance opportunities. Brokerage companies themselves have familiar record companies, studios and performance brokerage companies, so they have more opportunities to get performances.
If you don't want to sign, you'd better make sure that you can face the law alone, have a thick skin and find your own performance opportunities.
Usually, those who have not signed a contract with a brokerage company are already famous, such as Jackie Chan, Andy Lau, Stephen Chow and so on. On the one hand, they have enough experience in dealing with legal issues, on the other hand, because they have been in the circle for a long time and know more people, so there are more referees in the industry, and some people come to you without looking for a performance opportunity.
Of course, we should also choose well-known brokerage companies, because brokerage companies are also divided into formal and gray. Therefore, before signing a contract, it is best to read the contract conditions carefully.
