Nowadays, whether it is Xu Zheng or Huang Bo, in the entertainment industry, they can be called absolute powerful actors who do not rely on face!
Since it does not rely on face, it naturally cannot be measured by Weibo fans.
If you want to compare two powerful actors, you can speak from the awards, classic works, and box office results.

Judging from the awards, the two of them can be said to have won countless awards.
Classics:
Xu Zheng has: "People on the Road", "Tai Lu", "Hong Kong", "I am not the God of Medicine", "No Man's Land", "Heart Blooming", "Hypnosis Master", "Spring Splendid Pig Bajie", "Li Wei Becomes an Official", etc., among which "Tai Lu" won the highest box office award in Asia with a total box office of 1.269 billion, and "I am not the God of Medicine" has caused extensive social influence and heated discussions, which can be called a phenomenal work.
Huang Boyou: "Win the Championship", "A Good Show", "Crazy Alien", "Bullfighting", "Killing", "Crazy Stone", "Heart Blooming", "Tai Lu", "Journey to the West", "Dragon Hunting" and so on. also starred in "Tai Lu".
Judging from the number of classic works, the two are once again indistinguishable.
From the total box office:
Huang Bo's total box office is 18.269 billion.
Xu Zheng's total box office is 12.535 billion.
From the data point of view, Huang Bo won by a big score.
But I myself have always had certain doubts about this person's box office rankings, in my opinion, only the absolute male number one can attribute the box office revenue of the film to himself, and compare it from this point of view.
Although Huang Bo has a high total box office, most of his high-grossing films are male second or even male number three, except for these films that are not absolute protagonists, such as "Journey to the West", "Dragon Hunting", "Tai Lu", (some people may remain suspicious of the male protagonist of Tai Lu, but no matter from which side of the examination, the absolute male protagonist of Tai Lu can be Xu Zheng, can be Wang Baoqiang, but it is absolutely impossible to be Huang Bo) Huang Bo's total box office performance is greatly reduced, compared with Xu Zheng, the two are also between Bo Zhong.
If you look at this situation, the influence of the two should be comparable.
However, Xu Zheng has more of a director's identity than Huang Bo, and his director's "Tai Lu" and "Hong Kong Lu", and the supervised production "I Am Not the God of Medicine" were all very successful, and after that, he became the leader of a new generation of directors in the mainland, and later co-directed "Me and My Motherland", "Me and My Hometown" and "Me and My Fathers".
Being able to participate in the ranks of directors of this main theme film is enough to show that Xu Zheng's directing ability has been fully affirmed by the top.
On the other hand, Huang Bo, although he directed "A Good Show", most of the film's high box office depends on Huang Bo's gimmick directed for the first time, and the real quality of the film can only be said to be decent, which is why Huang Bo did not continue to direct after that.
As we all know, in the entertainment industry, the influence of directors is far greater than that of actors. As an actor, even if it is a big-name actor, it is inevitable to be selected, but the director can choose others, this is the gap!
To sum up, I think that today in 2022, Xu Zheng's influence in the circle is still above Huang Bo!
