In the 1960s, this excellent theme was selected by Bayi Factory, and it was decided to make a film "Tunnel Warfare". Later, Xudong Ren, Xu Guoteng, Wang Junyi and Pan Yunshan wrote the script and constantly polished it. In 1965, the film Tunnel Warfare was filmed and released on New Year’s Day in 1966. By the end of 2012, this film has set a record of billions of people watching it, and it can be said that it is one of the most familiar movies for Chinese people.

Fu Gengchen, who is in charge of the soundtrack in the film, has written songs for many outstanding works such as Sparkling Red Star, Advancing into the Central Plains and Sparkling Red Star. Fu Gengchen was only 29 years old when he wrote music for Tunnel Warfare.

Anyone who has seen the movie "Tunnel Warfare" should be deeply impressed by the theme song "Tunnel Warfare" and the episode "Chairman Mao’s Words". In fact, the author of the lyrics is Xudong Ren, the director of this film. Accompanied by "the sun shines everywhere, Chairman Mao’s thoughts shine golden", Gao Chuanbao read "On protracted war"; "Guerrilla warfare was launched in the Great Plains, and villages and households were connected into tunnels. The invaders dared to come and beat him to death." The enemy was defeated. The song in "Tunnel Warfare" was once described as follows: The enemy was frightened when he heard it; Hearing this, the people are full of blood and infinite strength in their hearts!

The prototype of "Gaojiazhuang" in the film is Gaoping Village, Zhengding County, Hebei Province, which is also called "Anti-Japanese Pioneer Village". But at that time, because of the flood, the local tunnel did not meet the shooting conditions. The film crew turned to Ran Zhuang, Lizhuang and Tangzhuang, which were nearby, for combined shooting, and tried to restore the scene at that time.

The tunnels criss-crossing in the movie and the shadowy guerrillas must have left a deep impression on everyone. In fact, all the pictures in the tunnel in the film were set in Bayi Factory, but with excellent lens application, it looks like shooting in a real tunnel.

In the movie, the first appearance is Gao Laozhong, the party branch secretary played by Bingyu Wang. In order to cover the villagers’ evacuation and escape, he risked his life to sound the alarm, but unfortunately he was discovered by the Japanese army, and finally he sounded a Grenade and died with the enemy. When playing this role, Bingyu Wang was actually only in his twenties, but it was a big test to play a father and son with Longguang Zhu, who was similar in age, and to show a sense of vicissitudes of life.

Bingyu Wang, an actor from Beijing Film Factory, has played the roles of Uncle Man in Private Zhang Ga, Zhou Yunpeng in Journey to Wan Li and Liu Dabo in Hai Xia. Unfortunately, Bingyu Wang died in 1982 at the age of 47. It’s a pity that we didn’t see more of his works on the screen.

Gao Chuanbao, the son of Gao Laozhong and the captain of the militia, was played by actor Longguang Zhu. He also performed brilliantly in films such as "Jiao Yulu" and "Wooden House". Besides, he also played an amazing role, that is, the Tathagata Buddha in the 86th edition of The Journey to the West. Do you know? If it weren’t for the introduction of the audience, I wouldn’t have recognized him as Gao Chuanbao who was praised by director Xudong Ren as "handsome, mighty and good at acting". In September this year, it was Longguang Zhu’s 82nd birthday, and Hong Xiu wished him a long and healthy life, smiling often.

The prototype of Gao Laozhong and Gao Chuanbao was Liu Fool, the party branch secretary and militia captain of Gaoping Village at that time. Although his name didn’t sound severe, during the War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression period, he led a militia team of 70 or 80 people to repel thousands of Japanese attacks.

Zhao Ping, the district chief who formulated the "Sparrow" tactics, was originally played by Zhang Yongshou. He has played Shao Jianbo in Lin Hai Xue Yuan and Fang Yong in Surprise. As a famous actor and director of Bayi Film Studio, Zhang Yongshou has many works on the screen.

He is also regarded as Liu Xiaoqing and Tang Guoqiang’s Bole on the road of performing arts. At that time, when filming the movie "South China Sea Storm", he chose Tang Guoqiang; When filming the Great Wall of the South China Sea, he chose Liu Xiaoqing. Today, 87-year-old Zhang Yongshou and his wife Zhang Jiamao live in Beijing. Zhang Xihe, the eldest son, and Zhang Wang, the second son, are both film and television workers. Zhang Wang is a famous producer, who has produced films such as Sunny Days and The Great Wall. The youngest daughter, Zhang Man, is developing her career abroad.

Xiujie Liu, who plays Lin Xia, director of the Women’s Rescue Association, has only appeared in a few films, but her simple and natural performance can touch many audiences, and her performance is both physical and mental. In the film, she said to Longguang Zhu, "Pass the treasure, be careful" is gentle; He was firm when he said, "We want to fight wolves, but we can’t let them bite us.". However, in the later stage of Xiujie Liu’s acting career, little information can be found, but the Lin Xia she created has been fixed in the hearts of the audience. On July 27th, 2020, Xiujie Liu died at the age of 87.

Wang Xiaozhong, an old actor with rich experience in villains on the screen, plays the Japanese army captain Yamada in Tunnel Warfare this time. When Wang Xiaozhong was young, he studied in the Telecommunications College of Fengtian Railway Institute set up by the Japanese, and many teachers in the school were retired soldiers. I think this is also the reason why he played a very thorough role in the image of Japanese soldiers. He has appeared in the image of Japanese many times on the screen, such as Nakamura, the special high-tech director in Never Gone Radio, and Tada, the intelligence consultant in Wildfire and Spring Breeze Fighting the Ancient City. But every role he plays is different, and in his opinion, even a supporting role needs careful consideration. On January 22nd, 2016, Wang Xiaozhong died in Guangzhou at the age of 88.

Tang Bing, commander of the Imperial Association Army, will be played by the famous actor Liu Jiang. Liu Jiang likes performing arts since he was a child, and he is particularly interested in movies and dramas. He has appeared in the movies "Sparkling Red Star" and "Breaking through the Wujiang River", and has also created many classic vivid images, leaving impressive lines, such as "I’m Hu Hansan back!" And "high, really high!" .

However, he was in poor health in his later years: in 1995, Liu Jiang was diagnosed with various cancers. However, he is optimistic and cheerful, but he has also appeared in several films, most of which are positive images. On May 1, 2020, Liu Jiang died in his sleep at the age of 95. This also means that the "five villains" on the screen: Ge Cunzhuang, Statement, Chen Qiang, Fang Hua and Liu Jiang have all passed away.

There are many excellent supporting actors in the film, such as Zhu Qi who plays Cui Lianchang, Han Dong who plays Dakang, and Hu Zihe who plays Niu Wa. Zhu Qi died in 2007; Han Guodong and Hu Ziru are both actors of the Cultural and Art Troupe of the Political Department of the Corps of Engineers, and Hu Ziru once served as the vice captain of the drama team.

Pay tribute to the previous artists for their dedication to China’s film industry. One of the classic lines, such as "quietly into the village, don’t shoot!" Do you remember? I wonder how much the audience still remembers the plot in Tunnel Warfare? Welcome everyone to interact with more netizens and fans through the message area. I’m Hong Xiu. Thank you again for your attention, praise and sharing.
