I need your help!

From the movie, LEON

Man1: Yeah what?
Tanto: It’s Tanto…downstairs.
There’s a guy wants to talk to you.
Man1: What’s he look like?
Tanto: Serious.
Man1: Tell ’im I’m coming up.
Tanto: He’s coming up.

I can’t recognize what is the meaning of “I’m coming up”.

Is this the meaning just approaching the people until they are standing close to him?
Is this the meaning that he goes up?

In Japanese script, it says that he goes up, but do you remember? Tanto says “It’s Tanto…downstairs.” and there, at downstairs, is a guest for him whereas, Man1 says “I’m coming up”.

In my guess, the meaning of “I’m (he’s) coming up” is “I don’t wanna see you”, for there is a contradiction, up and down.

Or is there any other meaning in it? I mean that two guys who is buying and selling drugs, not usual men but a kind of mafia held this conversation. So I wonder whether it is slang or not.

What's cold call?

I never thought you guys don't understand what I meant, telephone apointment.

In fact there are a lot of Japanese-English (The words that seem to come from English, but actually, it isn't.) , like Fight!. In Japan,"fight" is used when we cheer people doing a game.

Anyway, I explain telephone appointment (Japanese English),cold call ←I used dictionary.
There are so many kind of cold call. What I did is that I telephoned people randamly for canvass to change their telephone company, NTT to KDDI.
Oh, NTT and KDDI are Japanese Telephone companies.
Like , salesman, you know.

So I had to not only call people but also contract with them.
But, contract is really difficult. Most people never listen my words; they pretended they were busy now. I know their feeling, because whenever I take cold call, Ido the same thing.
This experience is a little bit shockking news, but I never mind, haha:)
