The purpose of this paper is to develop a simplified model as the modeling of the magnetized plasmas. The starting point is an assumption that the distribution of the ensemble of charged particles in the same species is homogeneous over gyrophase. The particles in this ensemble are located at the same guiding-cneter position (X,μ,U). Then, a fundamental Lagrangian differential 1-form is developed. It contains all particles in the magnetized plasma system as well as the Coulomb pair force between particles instead of field-particle interaction used in conventional gyrokinetic models. By transforming the Lagrangian 1-form to the new one on guiding-center coordinate with the ensemble summation over gyrophase, the new fundamental 1-form is naturally independent of gyrophase of each particle based on the homogeneous distribution over gyrophase, and it determines the dynamics of all particles on the new coordinates. By using a coarse-grained scheme, this new 1-form can be modeled by the guiding-center kinetic model.
