What is Artist-Agent Agreement?
何謂藝人經紀約？
An artist-agent agreement is formed between a professional artist and an agent who is capable of looking after the business aspect of the artist’s career. The agency so formed is proven beneficial to both the parties looking into the recent times of competitiveness where the artist does not require just to be a fine performer, but also be open to and efficient in promotions and exposure in the market with an aim to reach the maximum audience. It is seen that artists who are unable to take due care of these aspects, suffer in the long run or may not even have a career of a long run.
以專門打理藝人事務與職涯為責之經紀人所訂立之契約即是藝人經紀合約。
一個藝人與一個專為藝人打理日後職業生涯一切事務之經紀人間之契約即是藝人經紀約。

Thus, it is preferred that an agency is created by the artist by appointment of a person to deal with the business transactions with the third party, be accountable for the finances of the artists etc.
The agreement is drawn such that the agent is responsible for reaching out to the appropriate lines of distributors and sponsors for the Artist, be accountable for the monies and finances of the artist and the protection of artist’s work.
是故，藝人偏愛指定一經紀人專為其處理與第三人間交易，並負責藝人財務類事務。該契約需草擬經紀人為藝人可聯繫到經銷及贊助商的合適契約條款，並對藝人可取得之報酬與保護藝人工作而負責。
The Artist may be an individual, a couple or a group of people.
The Agent may be an individual or may even be a company/ firm with the required expertise managing the duties mentioned in the agreement.
The relationship between the Artist and the Agent is not only contractual but of Agent’s belief in the work quality and dedication of the Artist and the artist’s trust in the management skills and intentions of the Agent.
訂約之藝人可以是一自然人，二自然人或一羣人。
經紀人可以是自然人，也可以是法人；惟須具備契約要求之專業以便處理業務。
藝人與經紀人間不單單是契約關係，兼含經紀人對工作品質的堅持和對藝人所為之貢獻，以及藝人對經紀人經營技能與業務方針的信任；說白話一點，藝人與經紀人不僅是契約委任人與受任人，更像是事業夥伴；亦或共患難、同甘苦的朋友，具有革命情感。例如：最近結婚的某位藝人，結婚對象就是其經紀人。
