On France 2, Artus reveals a deleted scene from the film “Un p’tit truc en plus” at the Bravos d’or

CINEMA – A Christmas present a week late. This Wednesday, January 1, France 2 broadcast the very first Bravos d'or ceremony, presented by Nagui and Leïla Kaddour-Boudadi. Artus was awarded the Bravo d'or du film for his comedy A little something extra which has attracted more than 10.8 million viewers since its release in May. The opportunity for him to reveal a never-before-seen scene.

It was to the applause of the audience that Artus and the entire feature film team took the stage to collect their prize. It was no surprise for the comedian whose first film it was. Indeed, the Bravos d'or ceremony imagined by Nagui did not award its prizes after a vote of professionals or the public (with the exception of one) but based on the figures of sales, entries, clicks or listens.

A little something extra ended the year at the top of the ranking of the most seen films in France, ahead of Le Comte de Monte Cristotwo French feature films which contributed significantly to the 2024 box office.

After lifting his heavy golden statuette representing two hands clapping, Artus announced on the microphone that he wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to offer a gift to the approximately 10.8 million people who came to see his film in theaters, but also to viewers gathered in front of France 2 this January 1, 2025.

In the scene revealed by the actor and the director, we see the residents playing a game in the dining room of the lodge. Divided into teams with yellow and red bandanas on their heads like in Koh-Lanta, they do a blind “tasting” test. The false Sylvain played by Artus is back to back with his father, the false educator played by Clovis Cornillac. It was then that the police arrived, causing panic among the two thugs.

The phenomenon A little something extra

Released on May 1 in cinemas, A little something extra also starring Alice Belaïdi and Marc Riso, follows the fate of Paulo and La Fraise, father and son robbers. After the heist of a jewelry store, they hide in a vacation center for young adults with disabilities, posing as a resident, Sylvain, and his specialized educator “Orpi”.

For his film, Artus recruited actors with disabilities via social networks as he explained in the production notes “ I have always wanted to show what people with mental disabilities are capable of: they have an incredible imagination, a magic, or a madness, that you don't find elsewhere. It was with them that I wanted to make a film. Not on them. Disability, in itself, is not the subject. »

Following the phenomenal success of the film in theaters, the entire team was invited to take the steps of the Cannes Film Festival last May. When it was put online on Canal+ in mid-November, the film once again made a historic start. The success of the film has also gone beyond the boundaries of cinema since Artus announced in October that it was setting up a foundation to work on the creation of holiday centers welcoming young people with disabilities and able-bodied residents simultaneously.
