The creative contract 场景学习单

An established performer invites a struggling writer to revise a personal project in a home where work and hospitality are difficult to separate.

一位资深表演者邀请一名处境困难的编剧在家中修改私人项目，而工作与款待很难区分。

PERFORMER

You understand the material, and discussing money now would make a promising collaboration feel ordinary.

你理解这份材料，现在谈钱会让一段有前景的合作显得太普通。

WRITER

Admiration is not a substitute for an agreement.

欣赏不能替代协议。

WRITER

Define the pages, deadlines, credit, revision authority, fee, expenses, confidentiality, final use, and how either person can end the work.

明确页数、截止日期、署名、修改权限、费用、支出、保密、最终用途，以及双方如何结束合作。

PERFORMER

Send a short agreement tonight; the first notes begin only after both signatures are in place.

今晚发一份简短协议；双方签字后才开始第一轮修改意见。

The written boundary gives the creative work a better chance than either person’s enthusiasm could provide alone.

书面边界为创作提供了比任何一方的热情都更可靠的机会。
