Gimme Kudos Page #3

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.

Congratulations!

Thanks, Reporter Gu.

Sorry about the other day. I wasn't myself.

I'm actually very strong.

Before seeing you, I learned that...

I did badly in my English test.

And there was that silly matter.

So I cried... Please forgive me.

No... it's okay.

As long as you didn't mind.

Sorry.

Hello. Who is it?

It's me.

How's the meeting?

Okay.

I'm tied up here... See you tonight.

See you.

Buy it. It's a good tip.

I'll call you.

Your girlfriend?

No, our boss.

I kept thinking that day after you left.

The person you talked about...

Yang Hongqi.

Why would he make up such a story?

You really weren't at Fen Street?

Reporter Gu.

Oh.

Watch out for the cop from home!

Where... where was I?

That girl sure is pretty.

You saw her?

No.

Then why say she's pretty?

Intuition.

Intuition.

How's the investigation?

Nothing new.

That Ouyang Hua is trouble.

Why?

Intuition.

Police intuition?

Woman's intuition.

I can't figure why...

Yang Hongqi insists on the kudos?

Everyone has a motivation.

Even Yang Hongqi and Ouyang Hua.

You know what is Yang's motivation?

Dunno.

Go investigate.

Your wife was right.

Every deed has a motivation,

Yang is no exception.

Don't you have his address?

I don't think this is newsworthy.

Not necessarily.

I agree with the Editor-in-chief.

You can't conclude before investigating.

I volunteer. Send me.

No, you investigate your women's union.

Let's take it like a good deed.

Run a few hundred words on p. 27.

It's getting to you... you're going crazy now.

Attempted rape.

Smart... Get going in the afternoon.

Oh.

You're... Reporter Gu?

Oh... welcome.

You are...

He's the Secretary of our section.

Get in.

Thanks.

Come, eat.

Aha.

Make a good report on our village.

Too many changes here in the past 2 years.

Many new 2-story buildings.

What you city folks call 'villa'.

I wanna find out about a person.

Who?

Yang Hongqi.

Yang Hongqi.

Aha.

From our village?

Yes.

Hey, this is Old Yang's place, Reporter Gu.

You go, this old man is a handful.

Fine.

Anybody there?

Sorry to disturb you.

Who... are... you?

I'm Gu from Tomorrow Evening News.

You're a reporter.

Sir...

Is Yang Hongqi your son?

Yes.

This is our paper.

This is you?

Yes.

You remember who took this?

How can I forget?

He lived here over a month.

He's now our Editor-in-chief.

Oh.

Is he well?

He's doing fine.

Great.

Oh, Reporter Gu.

Was Old Yang a model laborer?

Yes.

Are you a Party member?

Yes.

The why do you...

No, I know what's in your mind.

Come, sit.

The old man's gaze unsettled me.

The Secretary told me,

the village gives annual aids to old folks.

But he donated them all to disaster areas.
