Gimme Kudos Page #4

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.

Now he's ill, but won't go to the hospital.

He wants to save the government money,

or it'd ruin his good name.

Have some candies.

Thanks.

Candies.

One more.

Oh... candies.

Thanks.

Have some candies... Candies.

Reporter Gu!

What're you yelling at?

Reporter Gu finally...

agrees to gimme kudos... When will you...

Come... come... come with me.

Here... have a seat.

You're lucky to work here.

Have some candies.

You look happy. What's up?

I brought my photo.

It's my best photo.

It looks better than reality.

You can use it on the paper.

Who says you'll get your kudos?

You're teasing me again.

I remember telling you...

that we must prove beyond doubt...

that what you said was true...

or we can't publish the report.

Then why did you go to our village?

Our Editor-in-chief asked me

to learn more about you.

Why saw my dad then? Wanna kill him?

How can you say that?

We went to learn about you.

Nothing to do with your dad.

But you saw my dad.

He thought you'd give me kudos but no.

You're killing him.

Killing him with anticipation.

You're lying.

Based on our investigation...

you always go home at 9 to tend to your dad.

Yes.

But you said late night on Feb 14...

You said late night, right?

Yes.

How could you be at Fen Street so late...

and save someone?

You ought to be truthful.

We saw your dad, had great respect for him.

But you're not like him.

I don't know why.

Yang.

Reporter Gu.

I swear.

I did save her.

Please.

Gimme kudos.

Hey... Get up.

Sit here... Sit here and talk.

Yang.

I don't know why you want kudos.

Is it so important?

Reporter Gu.

My dad has cancer.

Doctor said he wouldn't last.

I know.

The Village Secretary told me.

He said you're a good son.

One day...

My dad was sitting on his bed.

He pointed to the certificates on the wall.

Son...

You'd always been honest.

I'm very pleased.

But...

One thing I'm not satisfied.

You're almost 40.

But not a single kudos.

If one day...

Your kudos were to hang on this wall.

Then... I'd be satisfied.

This is his only request for me.

I must satisfy him.

He doesn't have much time left.

Please gimme kudos.

I didn't lie.

But our editor-in-chief is not in town.

We have to wait for his decision.

Yang.

I believe you, but you must tell me.

Why were you there that night?

The guy at night shift was injured,.

And the foreman asked me to fill in.

I made dinner for Dad and rushed back to work.

But your route shouldn't pass through Fen St.

I went to a store there for cigarettes.

Hey, Chief...

Gu, what're you up to?

Well...

Mr. Chief... Finally you're back, sir!

You're...

I'm Yang Hongqi, who saved someone.

Yang Hongqi.

Whom you asked me to interview.
