56 years of Tunnel Warfare: The leading actor played The Legend of Wulin, and the leading lady has passed away.

Attention, all teams! Attention, teams! From now on! You're on your own! Take a shot and change places! Fuoco! Fuoco! Fuoco!

This well-known line, which came from Tunnel Warfare in 1965, is a childhood memory of many people.

Tunnel Warfare, Mine Warfare and Attack War are known as the trilogy of military education films, among which Tunnel Warfare has the greatest influence, and many people have seen it several times or even a dozen times.

according to statistics, the number of people watching "tunnel warfare" has reached 3 billion (as of 212), which is a record in the history of world movies. You should know that the number of people watching "Wolf Warriors 2" is only 16 million.

1. Historical archetypal figures

Many people on the Internet spray "Tunnel Warfare" as an anti-Japanese drama or science fiction film, picking out all kinds of faults and illogicalities, and voicing that the film is useless.

Personally, I can only say, Hehe, the older generation of filmmakers will never work behind closed doors. Most of them have experienced that era and interviewed prototype characters. Even if they are exaggerated, it is still a film technique.

Moreover, before shooting, the old artists will go to the countryside to experience life and eat, live and work with the villagers.

During the day, they help the villagers do farm work, and at night, they will interview the militia heroes of that year in order to get themselves into the role;

There are two exceptions, Wang Xiaozhong, who plays captain Yamada, and Liu Jiang, who plays commander Tang Binghui of the traitors and puppet troops. They are villains, so they live in the home of the former landlord.

After more than three months of in-depth experience of life, the actors all found their ideal state, and together * * * created this classic work.

On the other hand, we don't know how advanced "Tunnel Warfare" is, considering the full-screen plot of tearing the devil's crotch and pulling out a Grenade, the actors dressed in glamorous and greasy clothes, the embarrassing acting, and the beautiful but distorted scenes.

In 1963, the leader asked Bayi Factory to shoot the teaching film "Tunnel Warfare" in order to let ordinary people learn some basic military knowledge.

Although it's a military film, it's easier to attract people if it's made into a feature film, so the burden falls on director Xudong Ren who is good at making feature films.

The script is the most important thing. The crew spent several months looking for materials in more than 2 villages in different cities, and finally decided on Gaoping Village, an "anti-Japanese pioneer village" in Zhengding County, Hebei Province.

gaoping village is the prototype village in the film, but because the tunnel in gaoping village was damaged by floods, there was no suitable shooting scene. In the end, the director chose to combine Ran Zhuang, Tangzhuang and Lizhuang, which were well preserved, into a film location.

Lao Zhongshu, who died ringing the alarm for the villagers, and Gao Chuanbao, who are brave and resourceful, are both archetypal figures of Liu Fool in Gaoping Village, who were once rated as special war heroes.

as the team leader, fool Liu led more than 2 households in the village, fought the enemy for more than 5 times, and killed or injured more than 12 enemies, defeating the brilliant record of hundreds to thousands of people attacking the enemy.

Regrettably, the fool Liu died in 1945, and the director named the hero Gao Chuanbao in the hope that the revolutionary tradition could be passed down from generation to generation like a treasure.

2. How to shoot the complicated tunnel?

The people's wisdom is infinite. At first, the tunnel was just a hiding place. After several battles, the entrance and exit of the tunnel became more and more secret, such as the donkey mouth and the pot mouth.

There are more and more functions, which can not only prevent water and virus, but also rely on advantages to destroy the effective strength of the enemy and turn the defensive into the offensive.

So how can the scale of the tunnel and the battle scenes in the movie be shown on the big screen?

At first, director Xudong Ren wanted to dig a tunnel section in an open space, but he finally gave up because the cost was too high and it took too long.

After discussion, the director, the artists of the crew and the scenery setting department decided to shoot the scenery in Bayi Film Factory.

The criss-crossing authentic scenes in the film are made by the director and other departments working together, skillfully using photographic lenses and changeable editing, and presenting a magnificent battle network to everyone.

In that era when there were no special effects, film creators made great efforts in setting, editing and photographing, and created immortal classics with their hearts. Isn't this the wisdom of the people?

"You go into the village quietly, and those who shoot guns don't want to"; "High is really high"; "shoot one gun, change a place, and don't empty the gun"; "Water is precious ... smoke is poisonous ..."; These lines in the movie were the most popular words in those days, and they are still impressive today.

In addition to the lines, the theme song of the same name in the movie "Tunnel Warfare" is also engraved in my mind. Now I think about it, I will hum a few words: "Tunnel Warfare Hey Tunnel Warfare, Thousands of Magic Soldiers are Buried".

at the end of the film, with the passionate melody, countless people opened the baffle from the vegetable field and appeared in front of the enemy. They felt shocked when they were young and could not forget it for a long time.

3, the actor's current situation

Longguang Zhu, who plays Gao Chuanbao, is 82 years old this year. In that year, he was attracted by the director because of his "handsome, mighty and good play". Because of the popularity of Tunnel Warfare, people called him "high and high" when he walked down the street. He could only explain to others that his name was Longguang Zhu.

Later, he was selected by the The Journey to the West production team to play the role of Tathagata Buddha. He has both form and spirit. He has always been the image of Buddha in the eyes of the people, and is irreplaceable like Guanyin in Zuo Dafen and the old gentleman in Zheng Rong's father.

Many years later, he appeared in The Legend of Wulin again, playing the role of Tong Xiangyu's father. When he appeared, he was full of laughter, which was completely different from Tathagata Buddha and Gao Chuanbao. This is a good actor.

It is worth mentioning that Longguang Zhu's wife, Wu Huifang, also played a female militia in Tunnel Warfare. Since they got married in the late 196s, they have been in love with each other for more than 5 years.

Zhang Yongshou, who played Zhao Pingyuan, was already a star at that time. He had shaped Geng Hao in Die Hard, Fang Yong in Surprise and Shao Jianbo in Lin Hai Xue Yuan.

After Tunnel Warfare, he also appeared in War in the South and War in the North, Ah! The superb and simple acting skills of films such as Cradle and Born Out are commendable.

At the same time, as a director, he also directed films such as Echo of Qilian Mountain and Silent Iceberg. He is 87 years old this year. I wish you good health.

"Gao is really high", Liu Jiang's father has too many classic lines, such as "I'm Hu Hansan back!"

after the 198s, he also participated in films such as Tan Sitong, The Ball Man in Kyoto, and The Filial Son and Grandson Serve, which are both good and evil, and each role can be deeply rooted in people's hearts.

The most talked about character is the Yan Wang in The Journey to the West, but in 22, the old man left us forever at the age of 95.

Another villain, Wang Xiaozhong, the actor of Yamada, is gone, and he has been stereotyped by the villain since the first movie Growing Up in Battle.

For example, Nakamura in Never Gone Radio Wave, Bai Shouren, Battle of Shanghai, Surprise Attack, Breakthrough of Wujiang River, Wildfire and Spring Breeze Fighting the Ancient City in Hui Detachment are all villains without exception.

It's sometimes more difficult to create a villain's role than to be decent. Wang Xiaozhong often pondered hard and tried to create a villain's role that is not the same. Unfortunately, such a good actor died in 216 at the age of 88.

In addition, Xiujie Liu, the actor of Lin Xia, died in 22 at the age of 87;

Cui Lianchang, played by Zhu Qi, died in 27;

Xie Wan He, played by Sun Jincai, died in 1986 at the age of 58;

Bingyu Wang, played by the old uncle Zhong, died in 1982 at the age of 47.

The actors in Tunnel Warfare, except for a few of them from Bayi Factory, are basically actors from the drama team of the Engineering Corps, such as Gao Xuezhi, a puppet traitor, Tian Haiquan, a Japanese soldier who eats chicken, Han Guodong, Hu Zihe, Niu Wa, Yuan Gendi, and Mao Ni.

Fifty-six years later, when we look at the black-and-white film "Tunnel Warfare", its shooting technique, soundtrack and actors' performances are also worth studying. By comparison, it is much better than the so-called blockbusters now.

There is a color version of Tunnel Warfare restored by AI on the Internet, but personally, I prefer the black-and-white version, because it is our childhood memories. (Author: XI)
