Marta, Shenzhen airport does not issue visas for quite a long time. In other words, you cannot arrive at Shenzhen airport with the intention to obtain a visa there. This is simply impossible.
The only way how you can arrive visa free is to relay on 144 hour visa free transit. So, you can land in Shenzhen and stay in the area or to be precise in the entire Guangdong province for up to 144 hours, but after that you will have to exit to Hong Kong by high speed train. In order to be allowed to do that, you will have to buy your train ticket in advance, even before you depart toward Shenzhen. You will print out your train ticket purchase confirmation and have it at hand, ready to be presented to relevant authorities. When the time comes, you will really have to take exactly that train you have bought your ticket for.
Immediately upon your arrival or better after one night there, you can return back to Shenzhen by obtaining a 5 days Shenzhen VOA on one of three designated border crossings. This option will allow you another 5 days of stay in Shenzhen, but with this visa you can only stay within Shenzhen city limits compared with 144 hour visa free transit that allows you to stay in the entire Guangdong province.
I just hope that the explanation has some value for your planned travel plans.
