America 1982-Chapter 380 - 40: He’s Gone?!_4

At that moment, Tommy and Ottelia also walked over to the three actors who were getting up.

The one in the front, a young man with dark brown porcupine hair, wearing simple jeans and a T-shirt, and a sunshiney refreshing smile, reached out proactively to Tommy and Ottelia, "Hello, both of you, I’m Matt Dillon, just call me Matt."

Without waiting for the other to introduce himself, Tommy and Ottelia had already recognized him.

"Wow~ Matt Dillon." Tommy reached out and shook hands with him, exclaiming in surprise, "I thought that Stephen guy would invite stars, but I didn’t expect you to appear, and to play Tommy Hawk? To speak my mind, the way I bullied those nerds in high school, and how my good friend Dennis lost his virginity, were all inspired by your films."

Tommy was absolutely sincere, even though Tom Cruise was now a big hit, but many young men and women aged from their twenties to thirties still firmly believed that Matt Dillon was the real American youth idol.

In the eyes of most young people, Tommy Cruise only deceived everyone into joining the military, while Matt Dillon would tell you what it means to be charming.

Since 1979, Matt Dillon began acting in films, playing characters that were very cool and trendy in the eyes of his peers, influencing a large number of Tommys, Dennises, and Pams, like himself, with his on-screen antics such as pranking nerdy classmates and taking a girl he liked on a camping trip to lose his virginity.

Even when Matt Dillon was a hit with "The Godfather" in 1983, the nowadays famous Tom Cruise could only play a bit part in that film.

"This isn’t the first time I’ve heard that." Upon hearing Tommy say that he was influenced by his own starring films to bully his classmates, Matt Dillon said with a smile.

The second person to come over, a blonde woman, was an old acquaintance of Tommy’s. They had already been honest with one another, Diane Lynn.

Her hair was not as dazzling as Ottelia’s, it seemed to have been recently dyed on purpose.

"Diane Lynn?" Ottelia shook hands with Diane in surprise, "Oh my god..."

She turned her head toward Stephen, "Stephen, thank you for inviting Diane Lynn to play me, wow..."

Tommy didn’t know that Matt Dillon had been invited by Stephen because he didn’t care who played him in a crappy movie, but he knew that Diane Lynn would play Ottelia, for a simple reason—she joined Susan’s agency to earn a big paycheck from that guy Stephen by taking part in this play.

So, to Tommy, she was one of his own people, even if she wasn’t as pretty as Ottelia, he didn’t mind.

When compared with Ottelia’s faces of surprise and joy upon seeing Diane Lynn, Diane herself, when looking at Ottelia, felt nothing but a profound sense of irony.

Tommy Hawk was at her side, helping this pretty woman deliver a telephone speech, while letting Diane help him *beep*.

She had thought that was the most bizarre and exaggerated thing she could ever encounter, until today, she realized that shamelessness had no limits.

The bastard made her play his girlfriend in the movie.

When Diane Lynn found out about this, her first reaction was that it would be great if there were a sequel. She wanted to see which woman would play herself helping Tommy *beep* on the phone.

She would very much like the woman in front of her to see it, just to make clear what kind of a shameless person her boyfriend was.

Compared to Ottelia excitedly talking to Diane Lynn, Tommy just gave a simple smile and said, "Pleased to meet you, Ms. Lynn." Then, he turned his attention to the last woman.

She was the one he was interested in, the actress playing Zoey Winters, Sandra Block.

"Hi, I’m Tommy, Tommy Hawk." Tommy extended his hand with a smile to the woman in front of him.

Sandra Block extended her hand with a smile, "I’m Sandra Block, hello, Mr. Hawk."

After the pleasantries were over, everyone sat down and chatted about the screenplay written by Stephen, and Ottelia, Zoey, and Stephen talked about many interesting things from summer camp. The three actors also raised some questions regarding their roles.

While Tommy was still figuring out how to chat with Sandra Block, he didn’t expect her to take advantage of Matt Dillon’s absence at the restroom to sit opposite him and ask with a smile, "Mr. Hawk? May I ask you a question?"

"Of course." Tommy, surprised, sat up straight, gestured her to go on.

Sandra Block glanced at Stephen, Zoey, Ottelia, and Diane Lynn, who were in the midst of a lively discussion not far away, and asked in a low voice, "Matt Dillon, Diane Lynn, and other stars will appear in this movie’s auditions, so I specifically asked Mr. Stephen Binns why I’m here, considering my resume doesn’t compete with theirs."

"What did he say?" Tommy asked carefully, chipping at the already formed ice ball with an ice pick.

Observing Tommy’s actions, Sandra slowly replied, "He inadvertently gave me the answer when I cornered him with my question. He said that I was chosen by Tommy to portray Zoey."

"He’s quite honest," Tommy exhaled, not denying it. He finished crafting the ice ball, placed it in a cocktail glass, and then personally went to the bar to make a cocktail for Ottelia. After completing all this, he wiped his hands and sat back down in front of Sandra Block:

"How’s your father been lately? Send my regards to him."

At the mention of her father, Sandra Block’s brow furrowed slightly, then she uttered a sentence that made Tommy’s pupils shake:

"He passed away."
