The entire sentence reads:

"Il est d'ores et déja entendu, que des lors que le prix payé par le public pourra effectivement etre déterminé (ce que le Producteur ne peut garantir en aucun facon), le pourcentage s'appliquera sur le prix payé par le public, sachant que celui-ci sera renégocié a la baisse, en tenant compte du changement d'assiette et des usages en la matiere."

Explanation:
Explanation:
L'assiette est une base de calcul. Elle représente la somme d'un ensemble d'éléments financiers, qui sert de base pour le calcul d'une obligation financière. L'assiette de l'impôt sur le revenu, par exemple, correspond à l'ensemble des revenus perçus par un foyer fiscal. Il s'agit de la base sur laquelle est calculé l'impôt sur le revenu.

In the context, they mean that the compensation paid by the producer to the screenwriter will change according to the revenues generated by the movie.

disagree  Daryo: "l'assiette" is NEVER a "rate" of any kind - it's a basic amount ON WHICH some rate will be applied (rate of taxation, someone's cut in % of the profits / gross revenue etc.)

agree  Daryo: "L'assiette est une base de calcul." exactly that! // here it's a bit ambiguous - it could mean changes in the total amount of revenue used as "assiette" or the changes in the definition of what is considered as "revenue" and included in "l'assiette".

disagree  Daryo: your reference is about monetary policy - this ST is about a commercial deal + more important: "L'assiette" in whichever calculation is not a "rate".
