Convert htaccess to nginx rewrite rule

I want to convert this to nginx rules

# BEGIN EAP Rewrite
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine on
Options -Multiviews
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^(.*)?$ index.php?a=$1  [QSA,NC,L]
ErrorDocument 404 /new/404.php
</IfModule>
# END EAP Rewrite

I have tried several, but no luck.

error_page 404 /new/404.php;
    location / {
        #try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php?$args;
        try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php?a=$args; 
        #rewrite  ^/(.*)?$  /index.php?a=$1 last;
    }

Actually, this line below worked for the URL but real folder paths, like css and js, are not working.

#rewrite  ^/(.*)?$  /index.php?a=$1 last;

Anyone? thanks in advance.

    # nginx configuration 
error_page 404 /new/404.php; 
location / { 
   if (!-e $request_filename){ 
      rewrite ^/(.*)?$ /index.php?a=$1 break; 
   } 
}

    Thanks for trying @julianlampert
    None of that works.
    I was able to fix it with 

    try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php?a=$uri;

    after many tries.
    Thanks anyways.

    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/.*
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ web/$1 [L]

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/web/
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f [OR]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^.*$ web/index.php
