To ensure the success of this competition and to clearly articulate the scriptwriting concepts for micro drama series, thereby sharing creative insights with a broader range of creators, the Sino-American Writers Association utilized the 2024 Film and Television Forum. They invited Ms. Eno Q, a lifetime member of the association, a playwright and producer in film and television, and the vice chair of the grand prize committee, as well as the president of American Dreamood Pictures, to share her creative experiences. She delivered a lecture on the methodology of creating micro drama series, decrypting the "Sino-American Writers Association Cup" competition's creative magic.

She shared her years of experience in scripting and producing micro drama series and her foresight into the industry's development.
Speaker Eno Q particularly provided a vivid explanation on specific creative strategies in scriptwriting, such as "exposition, development, turn, and conclusion," "character setting," "character arcs," and in the series creation, "cultural differences," and "adaptation strategies."
