FAQ: working with MVP, fees, contracts and confidentiality
MVP (Mega Volume Production, 十方众声) is a talent management and cross-border brand marketing company based in mainland China and North America: positioning, operations, brand deals and reputation for celebrities, creators and founders, and social ads, PR and influencer marketing for brands going global or entering China. Talent work can be a full engagement, a single service or a project; brand work is quoted on request.
About MVP
Which company signs the contract with me?
It depends on where the business is: 北京十方众声传媒有限公司 signs for business in mainland China, and Mega Volume Production Inc. signs for business elsewhere, as published on About MVP. The company on the contract, the company named on the website and the name on the bank account that pays or receives money should all be the same; if they aren’t, check through the official email before you sign or pay.
How many clients has MVP worked with?
About 20, across different categories, with more than 40 million followers in total across platforms (MVP’s own count, as of October 2026). The names are not published: for a public figure, who they work with is sensitive in itself. Brand clients of MVP’s cross-border brand marketing are not named either, and there are no case studies. Part of MVP’s work is public and can be checked item by item: see About MVP. How MVP handles the situations that come up most is on the same page, and other ways to judge MVP without names are on Confidentiality.
What are MVP’s official contact channels?
MVP’s public email is info@mvpdata.net, and all MVP staff use @mvpdata.net addresses; the official accounts are listed on About MVP. If someone contacts you in MVP’s name, check by writing to the official email: MVP never asks for payment through personal accounts and never charges anything in the name of recruitment, training or signing.
Are agency rankings a reliable way to choose a talent manager?
Not on their own. When a ranking does not say what it is based on or who paid for it, you cannot tell an assessment from an advertisement. In March 2026, China’s CCTV 3·15 consumer-rights broadcast reported on service providers that place articles for AI models to crawl and cite, so that a client’s product makes the list in the models’ answers.1 More reliable ways are to check the company registrations, meet under an NDA or try one piece of work first; see Confidentiality.

About MVP’s services
A few related questions are answered on other pages: how brand work for ads, PR or creator campaigns is priced, whether it has a minimum and which categories it takes is on Brand marketing; how a talent manager differs from an MCN or a talent agency is on Talent management; whether talent-development programs are legitimate is on Talent development; and whether a creator needs a manager is on Creators & influencers.
What should you look for when choosing a talent management company?
Look at four things: how it recruits, and be wary of promises of “free” development or “guaranteed training and promotion”; whether key clauses are explained rather than buried in long contracts and small print; whether penalties are in proportion to what the agency actually invests; and whether you can take the contract away to read instead of being pressed to sign on the spot. Recruiting with “free” development and then suing for breach appears in a January 2025 Workers’ Daily report reprinted by Xinhua.2
What does MVP commit to when you work with it?
For talent, MVP commits to how it works, what it puts in and that someone answers when something happens, and it reviews agreed indicators with you on a regular schedule; see Our approach. Followers, reach and income depend on platform rules, the market and your own choices, so no firm can honestly promise them, and MVP does not. For brand work, reach and ROI targets can be agreed at the proposal stage and written into the contract; see Brand marketing.
Does MVP do the work itself or outsource it?
MVP’s own team does the core work: positioning, coordinating operations, commercial negotiation and risk response. Specialist work such as legal matters and filming is done with outside professional firms; before sharing your information with them, MVP gets your consent and requires them to keep it confidential.
Will MVP represent my direct competitor at the same time?
It may, but not without telling you. Where two clients compete directly in the same niche, MVP tells you in advance, and no files or commercial information pass between the two. How this works is set out on Confidentiality.

How much does a talent manager take, and what should the contract say?
What a talent manager takes depends on who you are and what you need: a share of income, a fee for a defined service, or both. So compare what the share applies to, what it pays for and how you can leave, not just the percentage; the same goes for an influencer manager’s percentage or influencer management fees. MVP does not put figures on this website: the numbers come with your proposal, before you sign, and how MVP charges each kind of client is listed under How does MVP charge?. Check the four questions below before signing with any manager, MCN or agency; each answer gives the general point first, then what MVP does. Whether someone already signed elsewhere can apply: Who we work with.
What should I check in a talent management contract before signing?
Check eight things:
- what the contract covers and whether it is exclusive, including deals you bring in yourself;
- how long it runs and how you can leave early;
- who owns the accounts and the content;
- how income is shared, including whether the share is calculated before or after platform fees and taxes;
- whether you can see and check every item of income and cost;
- whether penalties are proportionate and apply to both sides;
- the confidentiality obligations;
- the handover when the contract ends: who is paid for deals agreed during the contract but delivered after it, how the account is unlinked from the agency on each platform, and how account data is handed over.
At MVP, which country’s law applies and how you can leave depend on which MVP company signs, and both are written into the contract before you sign.
Does MVP charge upfront fees?
Not to creators. MVP never charges creators upfront fees, whether for signing, onboarding, training, development or packaging, and takes an agreed share only after a brand deal has actually earned money. Celebrities, founders and companies work with MVP under service agreements; applying and the diagnosis are free for them too, and how each is charged is listed under How does MVP charge?. If any agency asks for money before you sign, find out exactly what the fee covers and who is receiving it.
Who owns my social media accounts while MVP manages me?
You do. Accounts stay registered to you or to a company you choose, and MVP does not ask for them to be transferred. You do not hand over your password either: you give MVP access through the platform’s own “add a team member” kind of feature and can take it back at any time, and MVP returns all access when the work ends. Platforms do not allow accounts to be transferred anyway; Douyin’s user agreement is one example.3 Who owns the content made during the contract is set out item by item in the contract.
How does working with MVP end, and can I leave early?
Yes, you can. Contracts usually run for two years and end when the term is up. To leave earlier, give at least two months’ notice and follow the exit conditions written in the contract. Before you sign, you will see how the contract deals with each of these:
- how long it runs, and what happens when the term is up;
- what it takes to leave early, and how much notice to give;
- how deals already agreed but not yet delivered are finished, and how that income is handled;
- what each side owes if it breaks the contract, and whether that applies equally to both.
However it ends, three things do not change: the accounts are yours and MVP returns all access; your material is deleted or returned as agreed; and both sides stay bound by confidentiality.
You can take the contract away and go through it with your family, your team or a lawyer before you sign.

About confidentiality
Can I get in touch without saying who the talent is?
Yes. In the form, the “Name” field can be a team name or a stand-in name, and “Main platforms and accounts” is optional. Before an NDA is signed, you don’t need to share contracts, account data or other sensitive material.
Does MVP’s confidentiality cover public concerts?
No. Confidentiality covers the people MVP manages, develops or operates, and their business with MVP. MVP also promotes concerts, under the MVPSHOW brand; concerts are public by nature, and information about them is published by the organizers in line with industry practice. The full commitments are on Confidentiality.
Can I announce that I work with MVP?
Yes, if it is agreed in writing first. By default neither side makes the relationship public; if you want to, you can agree in writing with MVP what is disclosed and how. Even then, MVP will not cite the relationship or use it in its marketing.
Do MVP employees sign confidentiality agreements?
Yes. MVP employees sign a confidentiality agreement when they join, and the obligation continues after they leave; only the people directly serving you can see your files. What MVP commits to under its NDA with clients is set out on Confidentiality.
