Gimme Kudos Page #2

Synopsis: Old-fashioned, middle-aged Yang Hongqi claims that on a rainy night he saved a university coed from the threat of sexual violence on the outer limits of Nanjing city. He soon begs Gu Guoge, a superstar reporter at Nanjing Newspaper, for public kudos in the press. At first Gu ignores the absurd request, but pushed by Yang's desperate and tenacious attitude Gu begins to look at verifying the case. Finally he finds the victim, Ouyang Hua but no witness. Later, it is revealed why Yang strives so desperately to publicize his heroics: extolled as a model of a national laborer, his father has lived with many medals and commendations on the wall of his hometown and wants to hang Yang's commendation on the wall before his death.

Almost got tricked by a worker.

It only proves how naive we are.

I agree with Ouyang Hua.

If not for us...

she'd have no idea about this story.

Really.

The girl's name is Ouyang Hua.

How did you know?

You just said it.

Oh!

Pretty too.

Pretty?

She's just okay.

What do you mean okay?

Okay means she's average.

Don't lie!

What?

She's pretty, Gu.

A college girl who wears upscale perfume.

Chanel.

Another 3 days and nothing about me. Why?

What do you think?

Look, page 1 to 2, to the last page.

Only one Yang, and it's a Lost Person ad.

Out of the way... Found your bike?

You lied. They say the fine is only $5.

Where was I?

Lost Person ad.

Yes, Lost Person ad.

What do you want?

I told you, I want kudos from your paper.

Kudos for lying?

Lying?

Forget it, we're all busy here.

Wait.

Maybe I should take you to see Ouyang Hua.

Fine.

That's it for this matter.

No.

Get off.

Not seeing her?

Don't wanna see her.

Afraid to see her?

Not afraid, just don't wanna see her.

She doesn't know you at all.

She does.

Fine.

Get off... and I'll give you kudos.

Hey, get off.

When will you gimme kudos?

Can't do it.

Liar.

Who is the liar?

Liar.

Stop or I'll call the police.

Police... get it?

Oh yes, I made a police report that night.

Driver, to the police station.

Comrade.

You're...

You're Hongqi, but your surname is...

Yang. Yes.

Let me introduce you.

This is Gu, Tomorrow Evening News.

Hello, have a seat.

You have good memories.

For us, memory is basic skill.

You made a report that night.

Yes. Prove it for me, comrade.

Feb 14 at Fen Street.

A thug raped a college girl.

I made a report, please verify it.

Rape.

Any record?

No.

Why not? I made the report.

This comrade knows I'm Hongqi.

Comrade, we're serious about crime reports.

We went to the scene you reported.

But found nothing.

No...

No?

We're responsible for every word we say.

For 10 years, Fen St.

Has been rated crime-free.

No rape, not even minor crimes like thefts.

Most serious are domestic disturbance.

You must report this, Comrade Reporter.

Yang shuts up,

but he keeps coming to the office.

Asking the paper to give him kudos.

I finally understand what he said.

Whoever is not tangled

with him should be fortunate.

All I can do is to avoid him.

Hello.

Reporter Gu.

Nothing, just wanna buy you coffee.

Mei Di Coffee Shop, 1 pm tomorrow.

This is your last chance.

Just say it.

Hello?

That girl asked to meet me. Should I go?

Well...

It depends on how strong your desire is.

Maybe...

You come along and help analyze this.

You're a cop.

Sharp eyes and lots of experience.

I'm graduating and will work at

the Overseas Friendship Center.
