1. Do a good job of preliminary investigation: Before signing a contract, you need to conduct a comprehensive investigation of the artists, including their background, strength, image, market performance and so on. This will help you understand the artist's potential and market value, so as to make a more informed decision.
2. Contact the artist: Once you decide to sign an artist, you can try to get in touch with him and express your intention of cooperation. You can communicate with artists by phone, email or face-to-face conversation.
3. Sign a contract: If the artist agrees to cooperate with you, you need to sign a contract with the artist. The contract should include specific cooperation terms, such as the artist's work content, salary, working hours, protection terms, etc. Please make sure that you have read and understood the contract carefully before signing it.
4. Cooperation: Once the contract is signed, you and the artist can start formal cooperation. You need to provide artists with the necessary support and resources to help them succeed in their respective fields. At the same time, artists should also try their best to perform their duties as stipulated in the contract.
