As long as the "conductor" is mentioned, the audience will be aware of it. smile. What is little known is that before the film was made, Defines was in his 50s and had participated in 120 films in 20 years, but almost all of them were extras or anecdotes. Fate always favors those who are prepared, he suggested that director Uri make a comedy, and he also won a chance for himself. Dephines played an important role for the first time in "Darkness". He once had a strike because his role was less than that of the absolute protagonist Bourville. He didn't stop until the director agreed to make up a scene for him. When "Escape from a Tiger's Mouth" was released, his remuneration had reached 1 million francs, and he also received box office dividends, which made Defines, a veteran and famous, with a lot of emotion: "I made a lot of money from this film, this is my life. The first time I participated in a movie box office dividend, 1.4%."
