In 2022, the Chinese online film industry has set off a box office battle, with Xie Miao and An Zhijie becoming the focus of attention. Although Semyon's "No One in Sight" won a good Douban score and box office, it failed to win the annual Internet action film championship, a title won by An Zhijie's "Blind War". However, in 2023, An Zhijie once again grabbed the limelight, and his movie "Killer Zero" became a new favorite with amazing cost and box office performance.
This article will provide an in-depth analysis of the two directors' different creative concepts, box office performance and audience appeal, as well as their upcoming new project "Hunt for Evil".
Semyon's obsessive pursuit and An Zhijie's commercial success: a box office battle
In 2022, Chinese online movies ushered in a wonderful competition, and Xie Miao and An Zhijie became the focus of this competition. Although Xie Miao's "No One in Sight" received a high score of 7.1 points on Douban and a box office of 29.76 million, it still failed to win the annual Internet action film championship, a title taken away by An Zhijie's "Blind Battle". This result sparked a discussion inside and outside the industry about the different creative ideas of the two directors.
Semyon has always had extremely high requirements for the quality of films, and he pays attention to the emotional depth of the film and the delicate portrayal of the storyline, so in his works, the audience can often feel the emotional resonance. However, his films often performed mediocre at the commercial box office because they were too artistic, and were dubbed "box office poison".
In contrast, An Zhijie is more focused on business success. His movie "Blind War", although the reputation is mediocre, won the annual Internet action film championship with a box office of 39.36 million, becoming a box office dark horse. An Zhijie's films often attract audiences with exciting action scenes and commercial elements, and he is more like a box office harvester.
An Zhijie's entertainment and Semyon's quality requirements: another showdown in 2023
In 2023, the two directors will face each other again, and their new works are An Zhijie's "Killer Zero" and Semyon's "Northeast Police Story 2". An Zhijie's "Killer Zero" cost only 8 million yuan, but the box office was as high as 34.22 million yuan, once again winning the annual Internet action film championship. This time, An Zhijie's entertaining success impressed the audience, and he proved himself again with a low-cost and high-box office model.
At the same time, Semyon's "Northeast Police Story 2" reached a Douban score of 7.2 points, and the box office was also good, reaching 31.25 million yuan.
Despite the improvement in quality, it still lost to An Zhijie's "Killer Zero". This showdown once again highlights the very different creative concepts of the two directors.
An Zhijie has rewritten his fate with the Internet movie, from box office poison to the Internet box office champion, becoming a golden signboard. His entertaining films attracted a large audience, especially young audiences, and became a leading figure in the industry. Semyon still adheres to his creative philosophy, pays attention to the quality and emotional depth of the film, and although he failed to win the box office championship, he has always maintained a certain reputation in art.
2024: Looking forward to the cooperation of the two directors "Anti-Evil"
Despite the obvious gap at the box office, Semyon and An Zhijie have their own victories in the box office battle in 2023.
Their competition not only promotes the development of Chinese online films, but also gives audiences more diversified choices. What's even more exciting is that it is reported that the two directors will collaborate on an online movie called "Anti-Evil", which will become one of the most anticipated projects in 2024.
"Anti-Evil" will be a work to look forward to, as it will bring together Semyon's emotional depth and An Zhijie's commercial elements. This will be the first time the two directors have collaborated, and fans will have the opportunity to see how their ideas collide to create an online movie that is both high-quality and commercially valuable.
