China Entertainment 1999, Oscar Strategy Begins

A third-rate screenwriter was reborn and went to Hengdian Film and Television City to sell scripts. When renting a house, he happened to meet the second landlord Fan Xiaopang, who directly offered double the price to drive away other tenants. As fate would have it, before he became a screenwriter, he actually became a songwriter and a major guest actor. When he saw the famous Zhao Wei, Huang Xiaoming, and Xu Jinglei in the Beidian Arts Examination, Gu Xiaobai said, "They can take their place." Sure enough, it was quickly shortlisted for the Academy Award for "Best Original Song" and the following year was nominated for the Academy Award for "Best Adapted Screenplay".
