The Assistant Director hesitated to speak.
This program didn't have much support to begin with, and it might lose money.
Those investors are already wealthy; losing money doesn't matter to them. Losing this bit wouldn't even cover their expenses on women.
Buying cars and designer bags for "Little Sweetheart" also cost money, and investing in a small show to make "Little Sweetheart" happy might even make them some profit, so to them, it's a worthwhile gamble. The investors don't really care whether the show makes or loses money; they're just playing around.
But it's a different story if the director sells his own house to invest.
If the show goes well, then great; but if not, all the money would be lost!
Seeing the Assistant Director looking hesitant like an old woman, the director snapped: "Don't try to talk me out of it, my mind is made up!"
